Definition of Happiness..

•state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy

Yep!... Who wouldn't choose that!

For me happiness means being right with myself... My marriage and staying spiritually strong and growing in God's word. Those to me are what keep me happy and content.

It took me a long time to realize how important happiness is. When I was younger it seemed like there was nothing that I could do about my feelings of sadness, but now that I am older I know that I can do something about it.
I feel like happiness is a choice because yes you can feel sad upset mad angry or depressed but its your choice to wallow in your own grief or change how your feeling. Me personally I have seen how being depressed has affected my health and my friendships and I choose to be happy some times I get depressed and I have to think about the things that I am privileged to have that most people dont I think about the people that love me. Some times when I am mad I journal and that make me feel so better.
So do I think that happiness is a choice? Yes I do and I am going to try my best to continue to be happy.
