I've come to believe that happiness is more elusive the more it's sought. At least it has been for me.
It's like the saying that you find love when you stop looking for it and you least expect to find it.
Happiness comes randomly, unexpectedly, in little moments like getting in bed at the end of the day, knowing that every item on my to-do list has been checked off and all I need to do is relax and fall asleep.
It's there when I finish a workout and feel amazing even though I thought it might kill me only a few minutes earlier.
It comes when I receive a surprise e-mail, text message, or Facebook friend request from someone I had just thought of, proving to me that I'm not alone, unloved, and forgotten.
It pops up when I'm driving my car and wonderful song after wonderful song comes on, one right after another.
It blooms when I have an entire afternoon or evening to absorb an enchanting book without interruption.
It's there when I feel overwhelming love for something or someone and feel loved in return.
It shows up when I'm thankful for all that I have, regardless of circumstances.
Most of all, I experience it when I see and feel God all around me, hidden in the tiniest details of my life.
