Happy Place

Hello Everyone:

I'm having a really good day.  How about that, I've managed to put together three good days.  Who would've thought it?  The whole thing with Tower Records has really energized me.  I feel like I have some direction to focus some of my energies.  I'm really excited about the contacts I made with the Mayor and Council members.  Also, the bf dropped a huge hint about my birthday present.  For the record, my birthday is on Friday.  I'm getting a girlfriend-type present not the lame stuff that the ex used to give me.  I hope I can keep this good mood going.  I have a history of being in a good mood then having it disappear.  I've learned to grab hold of good feeling and not let go because you never know when it's going to come around again.  So, right now, I'm holding onto this good feeling for as long as I can.  It doesn't take much to make me happy.  Something as meaningless as getting my latest issue of Vogue in the mail or watching a video for a favorite song puts me in my happy place.  It's funny, I used to wait for big stuff to happen to make me happy.  Now I get find joy in the smallest of things.  I could never understand people who postpone joy because certain conditions in their lives haven't been met. Putting off being happy because your life is not in the place you want it to be is bollocks.  A person shouldn't put any pre-conditions on finding joy in their lives.  Often, it appears in the smallest of things.  Everyone has something that puts a smile on their face.  I'm usually good with things like a soup and sandwich for lunch or a really great piece of chocolate.  Monday and this morning it was a Youtube clip of a couple of songs I like that put me in a good mood.  Of course, having a blog post mentioned in a tweet by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and rocking the West Hollywood City Council also put me in my happy place.  So what else?  Who knows?
