Happiness is Disguised as Wonderful Memories

Experiences that make great memories are the substance of true happiness. I live for encounters that have a lasting, positive effect in my mind. 

I surround myself with people who play a meaningful role in my life. Those relationships create memories that remind us how special we are to each other. My bond with loved ones grows stronger because I enjoy sharing good times with them. 

When I think back to good times, I smile. Reminiscing recreates the feeling of bliss that cherished experiences are made of. 

My relationship with my kids is based on what we share together. I love being the person they come to for guidance. Being able to help them at key points in their lives is an honor. I think back to those memorable times with pride and happiness. 

Material possessions have a less lasting effect on my happiness. Even though they bring immediate pleasure, their impact on my mindset fades over time. 

Very few things compare to catching up with old friends about our experiences. Spending time reliving the positive emotions of our adventures together brings me joy. 

Today, I am blessed to have experiences that bring unspeakable wonder to my life. The source of my endless happiness is my bank of memories of special times. I am committed to creating more happy memories like these.
