“It is one of the great ironies of our age that we are blessed with so much and yet we can be so unhappy.
“Happiness doesn’t come from external circumstances.
“It comes from the inside –regardless of what is happening around us.”
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “All is Well,” July 2015

I prefer peaceful, contented or similar…. happy connotes (to me) not a care in the world. A person can be sad, yet at peace.

She could laugh yet I knew the secrets
Yes, beauty shows.
