are you happy?
This is the first real question i ask all my friends when i see them…and i mean something deep…not just ~ are you happy?
I had breakfast with an old girlfriend of mine today. We made friends in 1992, twenty years of friendship between us, and it was not until now…
she has had a long road through poor relationships, as i.
she has had a long life of human disappointment, as i.
She has had her share of heartbreak, and sorrow. and although we have been happy in our lives we have not truly BEEN happy…but talking to her today i realized JUST wheat i mean when i ask this. i mean:
are you safe to be yourself?
are you taken care of?
are you loved?
are you secure in being YOU?
are you in need?
do you have
joy
And today the was glowing. she had found the man that is there for her as my man is, and she was truly happy. i saw her love and life just beaming through her words. i cried with her in joy for her blessings. I was so pleased to know that my good friend had real JOY. It takes a lot of hurt to find it sometimes…and sometimes it takes a lot of loss.
but in sharing this moment with her today it amplified how truly happy i really am now. I AM HAPPY.
this feeling of overwhelming gratitude is filling me up today…thanks for this day, for the real joy that is out there in each other to be shared. thanks to my love for sharing it with me, and thanks to her man for sharing it with her.
……………….are you happy?
