Nana,

From your words I can read you feel lost and it is not hard to imagine why. Life can be cruel and take away whatever it's fickle mind decides to do..be it your health, family members, a child, a husband..and to stay in balance can be hard, very hard to do. Many have lost their sanity, unable to accept whatever life presented them with, or have come to a complete standstill, just vegetating until their time has come to go back to heaven.

I will give you my view on happiness and hope my words will be of help to you: happiness is in all small things, in the beauty of nature, in a child's laughter, in a moment spent with friends. Many have this idea of "postponed"happiness as I call it, they make conditions that have to be fulfilled, like say..having the right man in their life or a job, a certain look, weight, etc..once they obtain that certain something, they find out it was an illusion and they still are not happy. You can stop this, if you want to, by being happy with what you have and be happy in the here and now..count your blessings, I am sure you have more than you realize;)

This song always makes me feel good, maybe it will help you too:)

Nothing; comes not easily, nor can "nothing" be easily found.
Easy is but a word, with an illusory back ground.

I love the depth of your words and how you are so intelligent:)

You amazing chikadee! that was such a beautiful piece! That last stanza really just did it for me! I dont even know where to start ...

"For as easy as a smile seems to me, a laughter shall never be.
Smiling brings you but joy of the moment,
yet a laughter sets you free!"
- that is just beautiful!

I really enjoyed this piece here :D

The smooth tempo and the wording just gives depth to your idea!

And also, the wording is so very true ..
