Thanks for the replies painterly and anita.

I am aware that I had placed the keys to my happiness in other people’s hands. I don’t really know how to find true happiness within myself, though I have heard about it. I have a lot in my life that most people don’t and I am thankful for it too. I am not a very materialistic person either. Yet happiness has deluded me.

I have started reading about Mindfulness and practicing mindfulness exercises. I will keep you posted on how I go.
