A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.

Have you ever listened to two versions of the same trip? One person speaks only of the flight delays, the uncomfortable pillows in every hotel room, ghastly cuisine and filthy streets teeming with rude people. The other person was on the same tour but speaks only of the beauty and grace of the country and its people. The trip gave him a deep sense of appreciation for his own life and living conditions. Same itinerary, worlds apart. Which one do you think goes home to a happy life?
There's another Abraham quote I love that says, "You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy journey." Relief is what you might feel at the end of a long and arduous journey and I suppose many would confuse that with happiness. A lasting feeling of relief is more to my liking and at the same time, I realize that my journey could end tomorrow or it could go on for decades. The only part of the journey that I have any real power over is right now. Just a minute, just one happy minute. Let me string them together....it's the best travel insurance I could ever find!
