"A general feeling of well-being"... I seem to have felt something akin to that for a few hours this morning, after waking up. Like the sun was shining on me (even though the curtains were still closed); like something inside me was smiling and content. A nice feeling. Unusual for me. It didn't last very long after getting up. Although the sun is shining very nicely today, and the clouds are beautiful; wispy dragons on the edges.
Some people say happiness comes from the inside, as if it is something you can control. Some people say if you choose to be happy, you will. That does make sense to me, in some ways at least. But I find it hard to believe. Happiness seems more like magic to me, something that comes and goes on its own.... mysterious, whimsical, incomprehensible, wonderful. Maybe it wouldn't seem so special, if it were something that I had control over. Maybe I don't want control; maybe I prefer magic.
