SEEKING HAPPINESS
Question—I am a widow, living with my parents who are very kind to me, but I am unhappy. My mother's health is such that I seem to be needed to keep house, but I would like to be earning money. It doesn't seem right to be dependent upon my father, who is getting on in age. I think I'd be far happier in my own home again. I have a lovely friend, a doctor, who calls on me twice a week and telephones me every day, but never mentions marriage. How can I be happier?

ANSWER—Perhaps the thought that you are a widow makes you unhappy. Possibly you have all0wed yourself to feel that you are lonely. There is but One Presence. Realize your friends in this Presence and they will appear in the flesh.

Agree with what you are doing. You may be unconsciously combating your present condition. If you wish a companion in life speak to the great Principle of all that lives. Do not pick out any particular person for this is hypnotic suggestion and must always be avoided. The Truth knows just whom you can make happy and who will make you happy. Let the Truth work for you.
