Happiness like this...

Happy, happy, happy! That's how I've been feeling lately. Last winter I was driving and all of the sudden the sky turned gray and  snowflakes started to fall. I stopped for a minute because driving on the snow is one of the things I'm most scared of. I took a deep breath and realized how beautiful the scene was. I felt overwhelmed with happiness, so blessed and lucky to be in a place where I can be a part of season changes. Then, many of the great experiences I've had  came to my mind, my family, my love, my job, even the moments where I went through bitter experiences. I had a feeling I hadn't had for a while and almost forgot all about it. It was joy. Joy to be where I was at that point, with all the good and the bad that brought me there. Happiness for all the things I've discovered, all the things I've lived, all the things I've created. It has been a couple of months since that experience, and I still feel that joy. I feel so happy sometimes I think it's a dream.. and I wonder if this happiness will last, or is just a phase. I don't know... I want it to last. I know where that happiness and joy comes from. It comes from the Lord and his love, from the people He's put on my way that makes me feel His love, that makes me look at life in a different way. I am also aware that even though my life is not perfect (and there are many things I would like to change) I am the happiest I've ever been!
