Desperately needing some happy in our lives? Who doesn't?

Oddly enough if you ask people what makes them happy the answers you would get would run the gamut from materialistic objects of status to doing wild crazy sometimes dangerous fun sports or traveling. And or to what I like to call emotional happiness causing things from the warmth and fuzziness feeling of the fur coat of a pet or the smell of a baby, or even just the all encompassing joy of being with your friends or loved ones, which in some cases are the same people!

But honestly folks when we can’t get a hit of that all encompassing happiness all of the time; so what do we do?
As human beings we normally would busy ourselves with our work or some other necessary fulfillment; volunteering and helping strangers comes to mind.
Lest we never ever forget that happiness is the sanity of all humans’ beings’ nature.
Why without a dose of ‘happy’ daily we can become nasty heartless creatures.
And we all know that the world already has too many of those!

With the above said and discussed as much as I possibly could I will now carry-on with my reasoning… today after feeling that my cell phone was attached to my left ear and my house phone was getting too cozy with my right one due to my relentless need to accomplish what is beginning to appear the impossible dream of getting aid in paying for my eye treatment of IV 1000MG of Solu-Medrol for my Optic Neuritis in my right eye before I lose the vision in said eye!
One person actually from a MS organization said to go to emergency room at the hospital and then worry about paying for it later. I explained that I am still paying off my genuine hospital stay from a year ago last April! And the other one who was doing my financial information for another hospital rationalized since she thought I had such good credit that I should put it all on my credit card! I said that’s why I have such good credit I don’t charge more than I can pay off at the end of the month! CRAAZZEEE!!!
And so when it got to be noon-time I remembered that today was Hubby’s day for his free introductory dental appointment at two o’clock this afternoon and that before all this craziness started we had planned to go to the luau at the cultural center for lunch and so I said, “I really need to find my happy so let’s go!” And so we did.

Pure escapism; since there is so little to do around here during the summer months; mostly due to our normally hot weather and the fact that our largest population for shindigs having decent turnouts are in the northern winter months when the Snowbirds return. At least that seems to be the reasoning for street fairs, art and home shows to be here in the fall and spring more often than not. It is always the busiest here from October to late April, usually.
Almost like clockwork they fly, drive or whatever mode of transportation fill in the blank, but indisputably they enjoy coming on down to help our economy and the businesses love them, but us locals complain we have to wait for this or that in lines for the theaters, restaurants, groceries you name it… but this year with the way the economy has been and us getting the double whammy with people unjustly thinking we have oil ridden beaches we as residents of the all year round type will find ourselves being much more capable of waiting with patience for those extra people to help get the jobs back on track, lower the crime rate, help our tax base so the taxes don’t fluctuate so much where we have to pick up the empty homes slack of payments! Lawns will be mowed and maintained, noise, crazy drivers you name we look forward to it, and if anyone reading this doesn’t truly believe we need those people I do really think you are not all there!
Our happiness is based on less stress and so when taxes go up, crime does also we end up having fear and sadness all too prevalent.
Be welcoming, kiss them and hug them, share the road with them; seriously I can’t wait for them to come back here!
You see, we have made friends with them over the years and do miss them all as if they were family or friends or at the very least good neighbors who make my taxes manageable and homes lived in and cared for; you name it, nothing bad with those temporary residents helping us out, huh or is it eh?
Since a majority of our Snowbirds are from 'CANADA', and are here for six out of the twelve months of the year!
So the next time someone seems like they don’t know where they are going or cuts in front of you in line, be nice they are helping you in ways that you might not realize…economically!
Grab them and hug them!
Nah they might call a cop, but be nice and pleasant and then you will find your happy and they will comeback and see you real soon!
Personally I can’t wait… one less worry is worth all the rest!

Happy night to all and to all count those blessings and I will too!
