AA Thought for the Day

July 6, 2004

Happiness

Happiness to me is fulfillment,
the satisfaction gained from knowing
that you did the best your honestly evaluated limitations
would permit -- in all phases of living.
Happiness is gratitude for the miracle
which granted another go-around at a life once abandoned.
Happiness is growing up.
It is learning to recognize all the things you really have.
Happiness is for experiencing, as well as remembering.

Thought to Ponder....

Happiness is part of the journey,
not some distant destination.
