QUESTIONING HAPPINESS

what is true happiness 

and how do you know if you have it  ? 

using this definition : having a sense of confidence

or satisfaction with either a person, arrangement or situation .

by using this statement we may come to the conclusion  that outside influences possibly have an effect on or to what degree we experience happiness . 

but does there exist a true happiness that comes from with-in and is independent of external forces having a lack of power in determining our measure of happiness .

can each or everyone obtain it , does it come from a  spiritual state of mind or is it gifted through years of experiences making a change to an individual's view of life .

is it permanent or fleeting . if lost can it be found .
to what value do we place on it's presents and to what extent do we pass knowledge of it's benefits along.

                   FEELINGS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

                     
                    Lucy anxiously waited for the mail to arrive.
                 As she looked at her watch she couldn't help but
                       look back at this past year of her life and 
                 reminisce over the struggles that had brought her
                                       to this very moment . 
                 
                          A teen age pregnancy in her senior year  
                  certainly wasn't something that she had planned.     
         Revealing this dark secret to her parents was one the most
             difficult moments she would ever have to endured
                             
                       As she waited images of her parents faces
                                  laid heavy across her heart 
                Fearing the possibility of disappointing them again
                                    Was to painful to imagine
                  
                           As the carrier stopped and placed the
                   anticipated letter into Lucy's trembling hands
                     She closed her eyes and slowly tore it open.
             After reading the contents she turned and walked away
     
                  That evening as she sat quietly through dinner
             she didn't have much to say, but slowly removed the
             the letter from her pocket and slid it across the table.
                             Her parents looked at each other  


              Upon opening the letter and examining the content, 
     both looked up across the table at Lucy who was now smiling
                 as never before, she had passed her senior year.                 
                                         Definitely not the best of grades 
                            but certainly one that would do
                         

          Feelings of accomplishment was certainly earned that day. 
          But as Lucy turned to walked away from the tears and    
                                    smothering  embraces of her parents
                                   She knew " what she most cherished "
              Was the pride she saw upon both her parent's face
