AA Thought for the Day

February 18, 2006

Happiness

Happiness to me is fulfillment,
the satisfaction 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.
