I think I figured out the key to lifelong happiness -- that is, overall happiness, because you obviously can't be happy ALL the time. But at the end of your life, if you can look back on everything and feel pretty good about all of it, including the bad stuff, then I guess that would be lifelong happiness. And I think the key to getting there is realizing just how lucky you are, no matter how bad things seem sometimes, and trusting that God has a reason for everything.



How wise I was on April 10, 2003.



I need to spend more time counting my blessings, and less time dwelling on horrible, critical, selfish thoughts.
