Happiness, I believe, is what people in the world want most in their lives. Attaining that is a lifelong pursuit, with sometimes different results, depending on where we are and what we are doing.

There are lots of books, college courses and even podcasts and apps for smart phones on how to live a happier life. It is becoming a well-plowed field. I am not sure there is any one way to make that happen. Rather finding happiness is a uniquely personal trip. What will make one person happy might not work for another.

This podcast then is a story of my attempt in part at finding happiness and telling you about it. Family, faith, friends, doing something in life for other people, practicing kindness, and just showing up every day are all important.

Still, it is in the details of our lives where happiness often resides. The key is to recognize them, build on them and not turn away when everything does not go our way.

At the end, what is it that you want others to say about you? How do you want to be remembered, even if for a short time? Answering those questions is one of the best guideposts for living the life you want to have. Good luck!
