THE THING ABOUT "HAPPY"

well...here we are, discussing THE THING ABOUT "HAPPY"

man, do I understand that title above very clearly. I feel like it's me in a sentence. A lot of the time I know that my happiness is often from the wrong reasons like;

A) circumstances that just so happened to go the way I wanted them to.

B) no annoyances, no problems, no running out of gas, not waking up with a cold, finding pop tarts in the cabinet, ya know, when things just seem to be going smoothly.

C) and things like those lol..............

I honestly want to shake free from this feeling of sadness when what I had planned goes "wrong" but happy when 1+1=2. it isn't that simple though, because this is a part of our human nature - I know. but urrrrghh, it frustrates me.  -.-

Lately, I've seen these character traits coming out strongly in me. If I tried to describe all the reasons that have made me feel this way, you'd probably agree that I have reason to be a little down, but you'd also end up with a mile long post (lol like my journals do), so let's not go there.

but, I would dearly love to let you know that happiness cannot be placed in our plans, in our friends/family, our jobs, because time and time and time and time again, we will be failed. Even though I know this (and often tell others o.o hahahaa) it's still very helpful to write it out and declare it again. 

I guess I'm trying to tell myself, it isn't failing to be reminded.

but it also isn't easy to pull yourself out of that hole of pouting because so and so didn't go your way... so stay strong, place your plans in God, and remember, that happiness is even in dark caves. so stomp on into today and tomorrow my friend -- you are so brave.
