They say (“they” being, for example, my mother) that one is responsible for one’s own happiness. I found this difficult to believe for a couple of decades, but now realize that this is right, it

A refreshing and brilliant post. Can I make all my friends come read this?
Michele, I hadn’t visited your blog in awhile and felt so inspired to stumble upon this entry. Your thoughts not only made me ponder my own attitudes toward happiness (and how my relationship with God fits in) but they also made me think about what an effective and potentially meaningful forum a blog can be. Jon and I have bandied about the idea of starting our own blogs lately, and reading this post of yours in addition to corresponding with a colleague through work today (the woman is a poet and in everything she writes – including emails – her words are golden, graceful, silken, flowing – just beautiful) made me realize why I love words and writing and why that’s what I want to do with my life for awhile. Lately I’ve realized that everything I write for work is stale because I’ve lost passion for writing. Maybe if I start my own blog or some other form of writing, I can write about inspiring ideas like you have or compose musical prose like the poet. It is certainly something to chew on…
Thanks, me! That sounds like I’m doing one of those self-affirmations.
Kim, thanks for the comments. I hope you guys do get blogs, I would really enjoy reading them.
