I think we mistake happiness with an absense of those emotions that
we sometimes feel: aggitation, sadness, grief, frustration, bewilderment, etc. But one can be happy in the midst of a thousand other emotions, for happiness is a sense of contentment that is not disturbed permanently by circumstances...it is an attitude of the sould and spirit.
Yes, I'm happy. And like the cliche goes, "happiness is a choice."

Overall I am pretty happy
Granted, I would love to have someone to share the moments with besides my best girlfriends but I really don't doubt that when the time comes that will happen as well.
I have worked hard to find a level of happiness and peace. For me, peace is a essential in happiness and it has taken many years to get the garbage out that disrupted the peace in my life.
So all in all, I certainly can't complain and I find much more to be happy about than I do to be unhappy about. None of us have everything we want, but finding joy in what we have makes a difference.

I am happy with my life. I do have my moments of agitation, but that is
part of the calm, because without agitation, there cannot be calm.
