me!
Happiness is a feeling with many levels. There is happy happiness, when everything and everyone around you is beautiful and wonderful. There's creative happiness,when a great idea/story/poem comes to me and I follow through. There's completing something - happiness.
Those once in a lifetime moments-happiness. There's the I'm finally home- happiness. And the school's/work's over-happiness. There's the Lucky that's not me-happiness. There's the FIRST happiness: First kiss, job, love, birth etc.There's the so happy I cry- happiness. My favorite food happiness. Chocolate happiness (before we found out that there's a chimical in it that it really does make you happy)
But most of the time, happiness is quietly waiting for us to see it.
May you see all the happiness around you.
Awilda Aponte
ARE YOU HAPPY?
WERE THE WORDS
THAT WERE SAID
BUT
IN MY INNER EAR
I HEARD THE TRUTH
INSTEAD:
SHOULD I HAVE A BABY?
DID I MAKE A MISTAKE?
DO YOU FORGIVE ME?
AM I TOO LATE?
