post script on happiness

found this today...

"Before, I used to know all the answers. And all of a sudden, life becomes very important. Each day needs to be a good day. Like Elder Nelson says, 'Joy in the morning.' Every day I wake up, and I have joy. And boy is that person in trouble that takes it away!" she laughs. "You have to choose to be happy. And so I learned a whole bunch about happiness." -Susan Easton Black

Happiness is such an interesting concept, and one that I'm learning more and more about through the many years that I spent so unhappy, for different reasons. It's kind of nice to finally be on the other end. One of my biggest regrets is that you guys had to see me in the worst of it.

yet loved you all the more for your raw, and human characteristics. I think I connect with flaws, and Jen is perfection, on the outside. I'm grateful I got to see the 'naked' Jen (assume what you want ha ha!) and got to know and love ALL of you, not just the happy perfect shell.
