Happiness

This is my son's football team when they won the Division II regional championship. Joe is one of the jubilant throng on the right side of the picture in a hooded jacket. It was a huge accomplishment at the time, but now seems almost insignificant. After all, there has been an entirely new set of winners in the four years since. Won't there be more winners next year and every year after?

That was a fun time. They worked very hard and played even harder and there was a good reward. What my son and I realize is the happiness is in our daily activity. We work, we plan, we struggle. This is what we're here for and we should take pleasure in our daily effort and know that once in a while we will end up winning. Winning isn't everything. What you do to get there is and I can be happy with that.
