"The truly happy life consists of looking to you (God) for happiness, seeking it from you and through you. This is the only path to true joy. Those who think happiness is to be found in some other way are pursuing a different false version of it, but in their minds they still retain some image of the true joy...The happy life is joy based on truth...Why then are they not happy? Perhaps it is because they are engrossed in things that make them wretched and only have a dim memory of that which would give them joy." -The Confessions of St. Augustine
Anything I might add would only dilute the words of this great old saint. Savor them slowly and enjoy.
