Good Happy - Ep. 458

The world is full of humor, some bad, some good, But a lot of that depends on which stance you take, And I don’t mean pretending for I don’t believe you should, I’m talking about genuine levity, something you don’t have to fake. [full text below] Ep. 458 - Good Happy We begin as always with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy, in Balance and Growth, of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I may have my low stretches, My times of trouble and strife, When I feel like one of them wretches Who’s losing at the game of life. But that’s when my imagination kicks in, That’s when I daydream and create, That’s when I take my Inherently Happy spark for a spin, And allow my heart, mind and spirit to activate. The world is full of humor, some bad, some good, But a lot of that depends on which stance you take, And I don’t mean pretending for I don’t believe you should, I’m talking about genuine levity, something you don’t have to fake. Today at work someone wrote to ask if I’d been impacted by a new regulation, I did a little research to see, but it turned out it doesn’t apply to me, I kept the conversation going since she clearly wanted to talk about the situation, After venting for a spell, she said there was never a dull moment-- I had to agree. So, I responded by saying that I dream of dull moments--which is silly, I know, But sometimes things can get a bit hectic and so uneventful times can seem nice, She said that made her laugh and so a work email turned into a comedy show, She agreed that life could get complicated and society often exacted a heavy price. I long ago realized, even while bullied for years, that some good could still be found, I could find occasional points of connection, share a joke or even help them out, Bullies are people too--it may not seem like it, but all of us are equally earth-bound, And so we share far more than we may think we do, something I will never doubt. Those moments of ceasefire in their warfare against me, we few and far between, But every once in a while I made a lasting friend because I always look for the good, You might say I’m Good Happy, determined to find what others may not have seen, For I know the true tragedy is denying your own humanity, something you never should. Haha Yowza
