MY QUOTES, THOUGHTS & POEMS

HAPPINESS
Happiness comes from within ...
It can be found in or based on material things - temporarily - but it won't last forever ...
It can be found in or based on other people - temporarily - but it won't last forever ...
You can't give it away unless you have it to give - and even then - it still can't make someone else happy - each needs to find it for himself or herself ...
Some people may spend a lifetime searching for it only - or never - to find that it was right there all the time and theirs for the taking ...
It's a personal choice - and it comes from within ...
