Another interesting take on happiness

Great article! I have a great take on it myself - and this really flows right with my ideals.

Thanks, G.

What is your take? I'm interested.

I really appreciate this

I really appreciate this article. I struggle with certain aspects of my future husband's past, and too many times someone has suggested simply "forgetting" about the past or "moving on." I even began to think it ironic that my name means gracious! Now, I hope to use my imagination in positive ways instead of a tool of distraction and destruction. Thank you for the wonderful tips.

thank you

Anna, I'm so glad you received some benefit from the article. Best wishes to you and your use of your imagination!
