Happy

A word I try to use as often as I can.
One of the simplest concepts and yet at times difficult to achieve, every day we hear people say when this or that happens then they will be ‘happy’.

I truly believe that no one or thing can make you ‘happy’ that it is totally up to you to do it for yourself.
And so I started the ‘Happy Morning’ program on Face book and it really took off.
Now I wonder how many actually remember the initial concept was mine.
Why you ask?
Oh no real reason.
It’s not like I took out a copyright or anything on the expression…besides I gave it with love for my fellow men and women to use indiscriminately all over the net, no make that the world and not just on Face book.
And since I am not the ‘word police’ there is no way of knowing how many times a day my ‘peeps’ are actually using it.
There’s another Tobi-ism, well not really it’s been around forever I am pretty sure but it was my idea to utilize it with ‘happy’ in a cheerful morning greeting.
And now it’s used all over the place and I feel redundant if I too use it in the morning when some earlier risers use it first! I am so off schedule with the time change and all, it’s not really my fault they beat me to it and my computer has been finicky too…oh well just more excuses…sorry!

Does that sound like a happy peep to you?
No, I am slightly miffed and I do tend to cringe when I see that some other FB peep has beaten me to the ‘happy morning peep’, punch-line so to speak; silly, huh?
You betcha!
So much so that I have taken the latitude of going for the entire day greeting instead; I do know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
But it became my trademark, sort of…
Preposterous you all say, and you thought I couldn’t hear you, ha!
Of course you are right that would be crazy if I COULD HEAR YOU!
As ridiculous as tonight’s tongue in cheek Blog is, but it’s mine.
I would like to see you all copy this verbatim… of course you can just copy and paste. LOL!
In reality though who would want to take ownership of this drivel, again this is my own!
So hands off!

Down and dirty is how I will start playing this morning salutation thing; did you all enjoy my short lived alliteration ones?
There could be more of those; so watch out folks; yep 'folks' is not mine anymore than 'peeps' or 'happy', but it does have its rewards of being folksy, huh?
Take that you copy-cats!
Warmth up the wazoo!
Yep, did you notice how many times I have been mentioning sunshine, yep if that’s not warm I don’t know what is!
After all this is the…Sunshine State…HA!
And have I mentioned lately about not being oily?
Yes the one about the: “only oil on our beaches is suntan oil!”
Even as well, whoops that was not meant to be a pun but then again… that is oil getting old.
Can’t we oil just well wish oil tourists to ‘COME ON DOWN FOLKSY PEEPS SINCE WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEE YOU OIL!

On that more than wild invitation I will wish you oil a very wonderfully happy good night and to oil count those blessings and share those overages and we well too!
See after you say it a while it takes away its power to hurt…oil, well, happy, peeps, nope, OUCH!
KIDDING! Or am I?

And please next time be here or be square, OK?
