'I have tried to say what happiness is, how we make it, how we lose it, and how we sometimes walk past it without recognizing it. Happiness isn't somewhere else, it's where we are. It isn't something we don't have, we do. It isn't fantasy, it's reality experienced in a certain way. Happiness is a close relative of faith.'
~ Celebrating Life, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
PS: Thanks to David S. for lending me this book. I am so looking forward to reading it!

"Happiness is a close relative of faith" wow great words.
Hi Ann,
Yes! I love this quote! If you substitute the word Happiness for Faith in this quote, you get:
'I have tried to say what FAITH is, how we make it, how we lose it, and how we sometimes walk past it without recognizing it. FAITH isn't somewhere else, it's where we are. It isn't something we don't have, we do. It isn't fantasy, it's reality experienced in a certain way....'
thought that was pretty cool :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by.

I think that's why he says "Happiness is a close relative of faith" :-)
