I keep seeing signs of 'happy' all around me.
I hear friends insisting we try to be happy
during the onslaught of this horrific plague.
There are very positive articles suggesting
that making an effort to be happy will make
enduring and surviving this time easier. The
message is coming through . . .

And then, I remembered my Jr. High days.
We had this 'Happiness is . . .' thing going.
We would make lists. The girls would even
decorate theirs with hearts and strings.
We really got into it, making it a bit of a
competition. Notebooks full of hundreds of
happy . . . Priceless! Me thinks I'll try a few.

Happiness is . . .

     loving my children
     a fab partner
     my Pagan clan
     phenomenal friends
     staying in touch
     living in my cabin
     studying and writing daily
     food in the larder
     a decent liquor cabinet
     a retirement to enjoy
     a long life
     reliable transportation
     a magick carpet for travel

Hey, pretend you're in Middle School and
make your own list!

happy over sad
so making this commitment
try to remember
