Do you believe happiness is a choice?

Choice implies control. I ask- Is happiness a feeling or a state of mind? There are moments and maybe even days When I ARRIVE to that Happiness state of mind, I no longer seek happiness. It finds me as I get grounded in the moment and just appreciate the beauty of what is. I am sure there are those that would not understand how I find beauty in very painful and maybe ugly experiences- but it is there- It is sitting and meditating with whatever it is and before you know it….much easier than it sounds and I am no expert…
