Happiness- 2 kinds of ice cream & more, Charlie Brown.

Happiness can really only be manifested from within. Your life will not be a happy one if you are always looking to someone or something to make you happy. You shouldn't really let your mood be reliant upon what happens to you but rather what you make happen for you. Obvious statements, sure.

With that being said, I have to say that I am pretty happy. I guess I just feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to be around. I'm happy to be alive, to love my friends, to do things for others and not expect anything in return. My happiness and joy can be found in a pretty day, the smiles of strangers, quiet & contemplative times, hugs, and um... fuzzy rainbow pipe cleaners (because i heart ahrts and fharts and crafts). It doesn't take much to make me happy these days. What can make me the most happy is an early evening drive with Joanna Newsom and a view like this that lay ahead outside my windshield.



I wish everyday could look like last Sunday.
