Happiness



early on
in my (re)discovery of living 
in the world of feelings
I thought happiness was an emotion
now 
I know it is
a 
by-product

    I have yet to discover the product from which happiness is a by-product.

    What a relief to read such a different point of view. When my mother told me, a few years ago, looking at the house we once lived in, "I was happy here," it was tempting to wonder just what she meant. In time I came to realize that she was as surprised to realize that as I was to witness her realization. Thanks as always.
