Happiness is...



You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown - Happiness
HAPPINESS IS FINDING A PENCIL.
PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE
TELLING THE TIME.
HAPPINESS IS LEARNING TO WHISTLE.
TYING YOUR SHOE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

HAPPINESS IS PLAYING THE DRUM IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL BAND.
AND HAPPINESS IS WALKING HAND IN HAND.
HAPPINESS IS TWO KINDS OF ICE CREAM.
KNOWING A SECRET.
CLIMBING A TREE.
HAPPINESS IS FIVE DIFFERENT CRAYONS.
CATCHING A FIREFLY.
SETTING HIM FREE.

HAPPINESS IS BEING ALONE EVERY NOW AND THEN.
AND HAPPINESS IS COMING HOME AGAIN.
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,
DAY TIME AND NIGHT TIME TOO.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.

HAPPINESS IS HAVING A SISTER.
SHARING A SANDWICH.
GETTING ALONG.
HAPPINESS IS SINGING TOGETHER WHEN DAY IS THROUGH,
AND HAPPINESS IS THOSE WHO SING WITH YOU.
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,
DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME TOO.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.



So what can I say? Recently I have been happy. There isn't much else to say. No more depressed days due to things I could not control. I have learned that they are just that...out of my control, so why should I care so much about it. Work and school consume most of my time in my life, but that is okay. I still find time to hang out with friends, talk and whatnot. Little things don't bug me, I am not Mr. Moodswing anymore. When my friends and I go out to have fun....get this, we actually have FUN! Crazy! Who would have thunk it.



Sure, I know my life isn't perfect, and I know that I am not completely happy with my life, but I am enjoying it. I could go through my life with someone by my side, but in due time. I first need to gain some guts and actually find someone(or if I am lucky, have them find me). I can dwell on the fact that I would like company and not be so lonely, but why? I am enjoying my life now, despite not having someone. I find the good in my situation. And there will be bad aspects of a relationship, but why dwell on them when things are just going so well now. I am not all smiles til my face hurts, but I am more smiles than I was a few months ago. Life happens and I have learned to take it one step at a time. Learning not to take giant leaps. Frankly, that is the way to live...maybe next time I will be happy with a significant other in my life, but until then this is my life. Live it up!
