The Happiness Bug

Hi guys,

Just checking in...

How is everyone?! Been more than a couple weeks since I started school. Been more than a couple weeks since I stopped working. Been half stuffed with books. Been at home growing my hair. (Hairy stuffed turkey??)

I shudder at the thought. But despite everything, I've been really happy. I smile everyday and I think I'm getting cheekier by the day. I think it's a progressive disease? But I'm happy to have it. It is such a joy to wake up everyday and give thanks to the Lord for saving me another day. Even my bad days turn into good ones. I feel so blessed.

Life feels so much more matured, stable. Like I know what I have to do. I've found the key. I know why I'm here. I'm changing, and changing for the better. Sometimes I look at the old me and think, "That was me? Huh? I didn't know better!". People call that childish innocence. But I realise, that that exact childlike innocence is what we all need. We need to stop hurting and forget all the crimes against us fast enough. Just like kindergarten. Always pure, always innocent with no motives. And most importantly, no judgement.

I feel like I am about to explode. I am so filled with love and joy and hope and peace. I feel like running around and giving everyone a hug. I know that sounds insane but so what! Just like kindergarten. I feel like making everyone smile so wide all their decayed teeth would show. Now I wish I was a joke book, so I can entertain and make everyone's day. If you don't smile, I'd have masking tape to hold up the ends anyway.

This post is entirely driven by the happy hormones laying/flying somewhere around. Today is a really great day. I have a plan (in progress). Nice breakfast, fish farm (unplanned), shopping, nice dinner. Do you see the smiley faces?

I SHALL REJOICE IN THE DAY THE LORD MADE!!!!!!!!!

See you around!
