New week. New season arriving soon. New definition. Remember when we were very young and thought “happy” was our birthright? As years went by, we did a lot of things just to get some of that. Today I think “content” or “peaceful most of the time” will suffice. I don’t think of these as compromises, but as more likely-sustainable states of mind.
I think our definitions of happiness change as we get older. It’s a sign of appreciation.
Absolutely agree and thank goodness for that, in my case, at least.
