The Pursuit of Happiness

While it may be true that money can't buy happiness,what it can do is clear the way for someone to go find happiness.
Money or the lack there of, often becomes an obstacle or an impediment in our lives.
Expenses pop up.
Bills pile up. 
The need to address these turns our heads away from the pursuit of happiness.
We spend out time in pursuit of finding dollars instead .
BTW....remember it's life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness that is our god given right.
(Happiness is a Journey as well as a choice!)
Please don't misunderstand what I am getting at. 
Money is not happiness.
I know of way too many instances where money truly has become the root of all evil.
However, like any tool,when we have it and learn how to use it properly,it does make that pursuit easier.
In the words of Led Zeppelin:
Yes, there are two paths you can go by

If the path you choose is in pursuit of money,well.....
There's still time to change the road you're on

For the time being and for the immediate future, I have found enough of that first commodity to afford me the opportunity to cautiously began down the path in pursuit of the latter.
There is enough income to pay the bills. 
Not having to mine for gold allows for more time to pursue happiness.
Which has led me to begin to try to find the answer to the question I found myself asking yesterday.
What the Hell am I doing with my life?.
Answer:
Pursuing Happiness once again!

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.....

Shavua Tov!
