Yes, I think so. Sometimes when I'm stressing about my so-called "problems", I stop and realize how fortunate I really am compared to others around the world. I realize that even in all my whining I am relatively happy compared to others. That even in my moments in stress, I have friends and (some) family who keep me smiling. This sort of creates this domino effect of me feeling even happier, lol. Of course, everything is relative, but still..
Ansa: Yes. Many of us were HAPPY & Beautiful in our youth, but in our divine ignorance, we didn't really KNOW it... nor did we have the ability & life experience to ACKNOWLEGE it.
It's very true that line about 'youth being wasted on the young.'
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com

I think it's possible to overlook things or people that can make us happy. But I think it would be pretty hard to be happy and not know it.
@ Michelle, I was wondering about this question when it popped in my head. I wasn't sure it was true, but I guess it is.
Good question.
