Serious Happiness

Can you really put those 2 words together??

Yet that is how it is. I am seriously happy.

And it's not like anything is really perfect; Jakob is in a transitional phase marked by unpredictable behavior bordering on tantrums, our house is in a perpetual state of needing something, we really don't have any money, yet...still, all is okay.

I think that this deep state of contentment comes from making a really big and powerful commitment to myself (which I did right around my birthday.)
I think I just had to get serious.
And of course that made me really happy.
