Happiness Day 198 (4/30/12)
Today I took the train to work and I only had to drive for 10 minutes without traffic and not want to kill everyone else on the road and I got to read my book before work and stare out windows and the world passing me by. It was quite nice.

Happiness Day 197 (4/29/12)
I suppose there’s not a lot of things that I love more than sitting at the dinner table for 2 hours with the whole family telling old stories and laughing our asses off.

Happiness Day 196 (4/28/12)
Today I bought $35 worth of maps at a book store and the cashier guy was like “you going somewhere?” and I said “I hope so” and for the first time I felt like I was telling the truth.

Happiness Day 195 (4/27/12)
There’s not many women who can belt out a note that encompasses an entire venue for a solid minute and keep up the intensity for an 90 minute set. But Florence and the Machine is quite the force to be reckoned with. I’ve never seen anything in my life as epic as her performance last night.

I think I found myself in the pieces of you: parentheses beginning and homes ending and faith in the way the moon washes the shores. Preservations (like openings) in awkward sentences and uncertain dances and the way your eyes shine against mine. Water flowing and people falling, falling, falling, falling. Some days I think our threads have been wound tight just so we can watch...
Happiness Day 194 (4/26/12)
Today I got a card in the mail and inside it simply said “perhaps you will be a bird one day” and i just…alksdjdskl….I really love cards in the mail.

Happiness Day 192-193 (4/24/12 - 4/25)
I keep putting off the things I’m supposed to be doing because sometimes I don’t like reliving the past and I’m so overwhelmed with how much I’m working lately but yesterday Florence Welch made me feel alive with Lungs and Andrew Davie made me feel alive through Goldmine and I think all anyone is ever really wanting is some excuse to feel our hearts beating under our...

Happiness Day 191 (4/23/12)
I think if I can learn to be happy here: in a town I no longer love, in a house that I’ve outlived my stay, in a job that drains my soul, and with feet that will always be still but ache to move, then I do believe I can be happy anywhere.
That being said yesterday I made to-do lists and tried to figure out how to get myself motivated again, and today I’m doing those things.

Happiness Day 190 (4/22/12)
I’m pretty sure Frozen Planet came up in conversation yesterday about 10 times between me, my brothers and my dad. It’s just the greatest thing ever.

Happiness Day 189 (4/21/12)
These days my best friend is a duck. We don’t really do much together, just stare at the others existence and we aren’t really quite sure if we’re afraid of each other or want to waddle around together. However it’s nice being in a relationship where words aren’t necessary and you’re content just staring at the other for twenty minutes.
I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows...

Happiness Day 188 (4/20/12)
I’ve been doing things by myself for 22 years. And every second of all of it, has driven me crazy with loneliness. But today I drove outside with the window rolled down with the sun beating down and I tried to understand what it feels like to be in my own skin. Because I’ve always shied away from myself. I think true happiness comes from loving yourself and today I took one step closer...

Happiness Day 187 (4/19/12)
Okay, taking these happiness posts more seriously because happiness is hard but I’m tough and I can fucking be happy dammit. (maybe too hostile, but whatever)
Today at work my coworker sent me to this website called panda-something (I don’t remember) and I was laughing so hard my cheeks hurt and my stomach ached and I can’t really remember the last time I laughed that hard and...
