Secret to happiness

I'm not sure if I know the secret to happiness I do know that I'm happier this year than I have been previously. A large part of that is that I no longer feel pulled in two. Before I loved being in Alaska and especially in Napaskiak but I really missed Mr. Hicok and spent a lot of time being sad because I missed him. It is really nice having him up here. Little things like cooking and eating dinner are more pleasant to do them with someone else.

On another note, it's also really nice to have gotten to know the community of Napaskiak so well. More and more this feels like my home. So for my the secret of happiness is being surrounded by the people who love you and the people you love. At least it is for me.
