For Today - All Happiness Needs is a Simple Frugal Heart

All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart  - Nikos Kazantzakis

When do I feel happy?  It's a rare feeling these days as depression looms dark and heavy.  I wept several times yesterday.  Working through trauma is not a happiness.  It may well pave the way for a simple, frugal, happy heart, however. 

This morning, I have that tired, cried out feeling.  Pale around the edges.  But my heart has hope.  The coffee brews.  There is good food for breakfast.  A good friend to meet for a walk along the seawall.  Just for today, I am going to look for simple, frugal things.  I trust that happiness follows for it has before and it will again.
