I have lived large parts of my life in wonderful circumstances that I utterly failed to appreciate. Reasons to be happy were everywhere, but somehow I didn't connect with them. It was as though I was eating but couldn't taste the food. Finally, I've learned to celebrate the good while it's happening.

Happiness is not what happens when everything goes the way you think it should go; happiness is what happens when you decide to be happy.
