Happiness

Finding that old melancholy feeling returning, along with a bank of dark clouds, which caused nightfall at about 4:30, I began to wonder about the nature of happiness.

Webster’s defines it as “being favored by circumstances, lucky, fortunate.”

Is it possible to know you are lucky, and still be unhappy? Of course it is! So this definition left something to be desired. I think I would descibe happiness as a sort of strength of spirit, which, despite the obvious setbacks and misfortunes, shines nevertheless, and reveals itself mostly in a cheerful countenance in the present, and an optimistic view of the future.
Niether of which I happen to possess today. Ho Hum.

  1. I hear “Lifestyle” on Lightning 100 here in Nashville and I want to buy it but can’t find it. Is it on an album of yours or is it just a single? Either way where can I find it?

    Thanks!
