Happiness is a Warm...un...Something

“I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.”

--Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

You know, I am happy, right now.

It’s a feeling of contentment, calmness, assurance and love.

Jen gives me that.

My work gives me that as well, as all seems calm.

Maybe that is the key to happiness; ignore the drama and accept.

Maybe the calm of finding a church where I feel positive attending helps.

Maybe the cats’ relative calming affects helps.

Maybe the idea of not having to fight every fight helps.

Maybe the relative sobriety over the last month helps.

If, I were a betting man, I would say Jen is the biggest contributor.

Somewhere down the line, I have begun to feel more comfortable in my skin, even though I wish to shed some of it. I also have felt the impact of the positive life through my students and my former students who write to me, talk to me, or ask me to view their facebook pages.

Maybe the positive nature with my family has helped. I get along fine with all.

Maybe it is the calming affect of playing George Harrison and Counting Crows as calming affects on the mind has lessoned the load.

Whatever it is, I suggest everyone finds their niche and expands their goodwill to the people who matter in your life.

The positive vibe is surreal.

Something more crabby next week, I promise.
