Happiness

Happiness does not dwell on flat ground, where ease prevails. It lives on the crests of craggy mountain peaks, in the nooks of valleys secret and green, a mystic shadow, flitting and fleeing at any approach. The path is long, the way is perilous, yet on the summit of a craggy peak is found happiness more sublime than the swiftest flight across flat ground

Oh, Gracie, how so very true. I’ve been to both the mountain top, and the valley-each sweet in their own way; but how I love the challenge of the mountain top, and the journey it takes to get there. Thanks for sharing this reminder, and keep on doing so. Thank you!
