Do you know what makes you happy?
I know some of the things that make me happy, but I am not
always aware of what will make me happy until it does in fact make me happy.
Sometimes the things that I think will make me happy will actually make me sad.
There are times when the thing that made me happy once doesn’t make me happy
anymore. Does that make any sense? Does it make you happy or sad?
I find that the happy making things for me lately are the
little things. I was walking into the second hand store today and as I was walking
across the parking lot I saw a Tim’s card just waiting there for me. I picked
it up and did my shopping/looking. You just never know what you will find in
the Mennonite store, or outside of the Mennonite store. When I got home I
checked that balance on the card and it was $4.84! Super bonus! I was happy
just to have the card. Yeah, I know it is weird, but I did say that it is the
little things that make me happy.
When I was driving home tonight there was one of those large
orange moons off to the east. It made me smile and wish that I had a camera
with me. I think that an orange moon means there will be a good harvest or that
the king of the Pumpkin people has finally declared war on Homo sapiens. I am
going with the good harvest thing because otherwise I might not sleep tonight.
I can’t imagine that an army of pumpkins would be very fierce warriors. First
off, they have no legs or arms so it would be pretty hard for them to attack. I
suppose they could spit seeds at us, but if they did that it would leave them
gutless. I think I could win that war by myself. That kind of makes me happy.
It is possible that happiness is a virus which you can
catch. Those of us that are lucky have little or no resistance to the virus,
but we all know people that have a strong immune system and haven’t had a happy
day in their lives. Perhaps they could come up with an anti immune drug, kind
of like the anti rejection drugs they give to implant patients. Personally I
think I am a pretty happy guy with bouts of unhappy every now and then.
Here’s hoping that you have a very poor immune system and stay
happy for a long, long time.
