I'd read somewhere that while being happy is good, it is the grasping for happiness that brings unhappiness and various problems in its wake. It struck me that maybe instead of asking for happiness, we should ask for strength to let go - let go of things that bring happiness as well as things that bring grief...enjoy the moment, or deal with the moment, and then let the moment go - never ever ever roost on the moment...for, while happiness changes to unhappiness, grief can turn to destruction...
