I think I found a great definition of love and happiness!!?


True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love
is an acceptance of
all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just
make the best of everything they have.

hmmmm, mighty good I think too.  Thanks for the food for thought.

I have been at the point of realizing love is acceptance of a person with the good, the bad and the ugly.  Your words work even better for me and I hadn't thought about happiness yet but I like this definition of happiness too.  well done, Jean!!

hmmmmm, now that I've written that, I think I better think more about being happy for a change.  smile  So this definition will give me a leap start at finding my happy me again - at least some moments of it at least and it's about time.

hugs, ddub

I like that Jean.

I've always kept this quote on my fridge - as a reminder when I get unhappy about what's lacking:
"It is so much easier to choose to love the things you have."

Took me a long time to learn that you can love someone from afar. I don't have to tell him I love him or live with him, I can still love him and dislike things he does.

I always think of love as patient, kind, and peaceful. I like the definition of happiness. Thanks Jean.

when I was in hospital as a child there was a man in one of the hospital wards long term who was completely paralyzed. He absolutely radiated happiness and acceptance and love.  Everyone flocked to see him, he had lots of visitors.  He was so kind, accepting and clear.  I would like to be like that sometime. Talk about complete acceptance.  I have very very rare moments of acceptance.
