Today I am thankful. Well, it is Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season is upon us.
But then again I am happy and thankful everyday.
Really, for most of my life I have been a happy person.
From the day I was born up until today I find that I am happy and optimistic.
You may ask how is that possible?
Of course I have moments where I experience anger or some kind of confusion.
These experiences and moments are usually a result of my interactions with others.
Going in circles around the same plot points
people, in my opinion, are many times dealing with situations that are familiar
to them whether they be good or bad for them.
These past three years have been very difficult for so many people all over the world.

A great question I would ask you is, are you happy?
There may be a number of things that are happening in your life right at this moment that are a cause or reason why you may be unhappy.
But I can tell you with you absolute accuracy that happiness is a state of mind.
We are creatures that have great sensitivity, memories that carry good and bad thoughts but it is the present that we live in everyday as yesterday is gone and there is only tomorrow. Learn from your past but do not dwell in it.
Take the good memories if you must keep the past close to you.
A wise man once said that we can't choose our family and sometimes friends become family.

Walter Paul Bebirian is my friend and I consider him my family.
Why? Because his spirit is pure. He lives to make people happy.
Making himself happy through art he, like so many others that I know who are truly happy, or more so happy most of the time have a purpose - a reason to be here on this planet - a drive, a goal and a motivation that does not involve others but may have others at the end result of the work that they do.
Being happy is a state of mind. Let us all move to that state of being and find happiness.
