Are you truly happy?

Today I sat down to reflect and I started to think about my life. Now don't get me wrong I have issues. Tons of them, like to be my friend you have to earn it. That sounds so bad I know. But I mean it takes a lot for me to trust people. I know it all stems from my childhood. It wasn't the best. Now don't start feeling bad for me because I don't. All the things I had to go through as a kid made me who I am today. A strong, loving, fun, happy person who would do anything for my family or friends. I know this is also why I get a little crazy, ok a lot crazy when it comes to my kids and their happiness. If nothing else I do in life its to make my children's life's meaningful, happy and to make sure they know without a doubt that I love them. Then I have done my job as a mother. I think my kids are kids and they do make mistakes but that's how they grow as people. Learning from their own mistakes. I seem to be a people watcher. I find myself looking at people and wondering if they are happy? Maybe that's weird? You tell me. . I love Justin more everyday. When I see him, he makes me smile after 17 years. It's a very rare day we don't laugh with each other and our kids. I love how he just holds my hand, opens the car door for me at church and brings me sunflowers from the side of the road. Just because he thought I would love them. Everyday I am thankful for my life. Which is not perfect but its mine and mine alone. I wish everyone could bring a little happiness into their lives and smile a little bit more. You can be truly happy. You just have to want to be.
