Happiness 101


After much thought and consideration, I finally stumbled across an interesting fact: I'm a very happy person. Then I began to think about the things in my life that make me so happy. This was also an interesting find. So what makes me happy? Here are a few things to get us started:




  • Jim Benton characters. More specifically, Happy Bunny. She's one awesome little bunny. Why you ask? Because I can always count on her to have a smile and a smart comment. (Feel free to ogle the picture that I have strategically placed for your viewing pleasures.)


  • Mango-pineapple-orange-banana smoothies also make me happy. Mm mm, smoothie....


  • That scene in Jaws is great. You know the one where the shark pops out of the water at Chief Brody and he says "I think we need a bigger boat." That scene was great.


  • While on the topic of movies, Duel was equally as awesome as Jaws (kudos to my film studies class for these great works of art!)


  • I love to write so poetry makes me, so poetry makes me exceedingly happy as well. (poetry sets rock!)


  • Nesquik is totally better than that Ovaltine stuff


  • Winning or losing, the White Sox will always be my favorite baseball team.


Well that's enough for today, I think. I'll end with a quote from Edith Wharton: " If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time." Hm...interesting.
