and goes

I think that I am in a slump and that I need to take a step back and reevaluate what it is that I have to look forward to. Maybe I am making the mistake of looking for one big thing to make me happy. Maybe happiness lies in the small things that happen everyday and don't seem to be of much consequence. Now that I am older maybe I have used up my quota of big things like love, marriage and children- I have done all that. So maybe now smaller happinesses await me and maybe I don't see them because I am too busy waiting for something larger to happen to me. I will take this tact and see where it leads me.
