true story (lyn)

I am standing in my kitchen with an apple in my hand.  Out of nowhere it strikes me that:

• I am in good health
• My son is where he wants to be
• My family and friends are healthy (though my dad could be better)
• I am within two pounds of my ideal weight
• I live in the best city in the world
• I have a great opportunity to build a business, and hopefully make some decent money
• I have amazing friendships; most decades long
• All my clothes fit (except for that Donna Karan dress that I am still thinking about)
• I have no major stresses keeping me up at night
• I have a million good reasons to get up everyday

And there in my kitchen I wonder for the first time in a very long time, “Is this what happiness feels like?”  Yes, I think it is.
