Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918);poet, playwright, art critic
Sometimes it becomes so easy to get wrapped in the pursuit of anything (in this case, even happiness) that we miss the actual act of just being happy. It makes me think of that quote about life not being about a destination but about the journey. Or, as my family could probably quote to you as well, it takes me back to a song from the musical "Webb's City" in which it focuses on the fact that "Wasn't it a good ride when the best of those dreams came true?"
Honestly, when was the last time you just stopped to smell the roses? Or enjoyed a long nap or a lazy day just for the sake of being happy? Or put off something that didn't require immediate attention in order to do something you could just love for the sake of loving it?
What the heck? Give it a try. Take a break and just breathe. Live. Be happy.
