I want to be careful not to throw all this away. This is happiness. I think this is what happiness is. I haven't got it yet, but I can sense it out there. I feel I'm close to it. Some days, I'm so close I can almost smell it.

Sebastian Faulks
About This Quote

When you are happy, you want to hold onto that happy feeling. You may not always want to be happy but you do want that happiness. The more happy you are the more you want to be happy. When it comes to happiness, sometimes we can take a step back and look at the beauty around us.

We can see the beauty in a flower, a sunset, a smile or a parking space. Happiness is something that is reserved for a special few and it is something that we all strive for because happiness is what makes life worth living.
