"I am not good at noticing when I'm happy, except in retrospect."

Have you ever found yourself so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that you forget to appreciate the moments of happiness that pass you by?

It's a common human experience to overlook the simple joys and contentment that we feel in the present moment. We often get so wrapped up in our worries and responsibilities that we fail to recognize the happiness that surrounds us.

But when we take a step back and reflect on our past experiences, we can see that happiness was there all along, waiting to be acknowledged.

It's like looking back at a photo album and realizing how much fun you were having in that moment, even though you may not have fully appreciated it at the time.

So, the next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or stressed, take a moment to pause and reflect on the happiness that may be hiding in plain sight.

By being more mindful and present in the moment, you can learn to recognize and appreciate the happiness that surrounds you, even if it's only in retrospect.

Don't let the busyness of life blind you to the joy that is right in front of you. Take the time to notice and savor the moments of happiness, both big and small, that make life truly meaningful.

Remember, happiness is not always loud and flashy. Sometimes, it's the quiet moments of contentment and peace that leave the biggest impact on our hearts.
