Exact Happiness

They say true happiness is relative. People also say that you can’t buy happiness. I finally came to that conclusion one Christmas eve. I can remember the exact moment I realized what a rich man I was. Driving back from Christmas shopping one night it hit me. Elena the woman I loved was asleep on my shoulder. Her 3 year old son was asleep in the back seat, still clutching the remote controlled car I had just bought him. I realized I had friends and family who I cared about and who card about me as well. I had a job I loved and worked with people I considered friends. All this hit me all at once as I sat behind the wheel of my new car driving home. For the briefest moment, for that exact moment in time that exact second I knew I was a very rich and lucky man. I also knew if I never felt like that again I could always remember this moment and knew I was once happy for one second one moment in my life.

(This is the words that came to mind, the moment I knew I was one of the luckiest man on Earth. I hope everyone can feel at least one moment in their life's the way I felt the moment I realized just how fortunate I was.)
