What makes you happy?

remembering all the words to my favorite song of the moment

being back home with many puncture marks on mah body....ahhh medicine is so penetrating at times...

happy to be given good news after bad before- just shows ya never give up good thoughts!

not all good news but i always did run with the good.

ya'll be happy for today....okie?

damn.

yeah- i bumped this up cause i'd like to hear some more happy stuff.

i got some wisdom to share...never take for granted any of the things you do each day- without thinking...like smelling flowers or walking or touching or seeing a sunset.

when you think you will do something "someday"- check your calendar...there is no such day as that.

i wish i had a magic wand to wave for all of you-to make all your tomorrows right...

i don't.

but i have been "here" for a few years and touched a few of you with my words. some may think that vain of me- nope- just true.

"WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?" says the thread...

you have by just being there.

pass it on...


sincerely

Being able to tell a story well enough to cause wonder in a childs eyes

Sharing a smile with someone makes me happy.


Waking up with The arm of someone I love laying hot across my chest

Leaving little poems (she calls them her treasure maps) hidden throughout the house, pointing to a some little surprise. Friday's suprise was a plate of cupcakes

Being happy makes me happy.
Reading Daves posts makes me happy...Thanks

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don`t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of Pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

==========================================

thanks to john denver for some great words.

thanks, again, to bill and marj who saved my life on a stormy night at a beach, when i was lost and who were killed by a drunk driver not very long ago.

thanks to my hong kong friend who showed me the world and i messed it all up.

and thanks to you all for such a great ride.

never take today for granted and never forget to be thankful for any tomorrows that arrive in your life.

"dave has left the building..."


...damn...

I'm a firm beleiver in everything happens for a reason. We may not know why or how but there is a predesigned path we follow, sometimes we make a wrong turn but we always end up back on track somewhere down the line. Be glad for what was and what will be!

i am happy you feel that way chele.

i hope that works for you.

sincerely

yeah, thats a fantastic song....


what makes me happy?

sundays w/ the one I love and my doggle
clean laundry
plans coming together
seeing that my friends are going to be there for me
UKs birthday
fishing plans
wedding flip flops
new flowers for outside!
contentment
knowing who is real and who isn't
late morning breakfast
evreything red red red !

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

If I made you feel second best girl I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that
your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, give me one more chance
to keep you satisfied

Little things I should
have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

"happiness, i believe, can sometimes be measured in the width of the smile multiplied by the sparkle in the eyes and added to the warmth of the heart." dam

when it comes to being happy

sometimes it just takes

being happy...hard to do sometimes

but certainly achievable.

someone once said...grief can take

care of itself but to have

the full value of joy,

you must have someone to

share it with...

true, true.

real friends are hard to find and

even harder to keep.

a real friend never looks when you fail

but never leaves when you you fall.

a real friend never reprimands you for

falling but keeps you aware of the

reason you fell.

and a real friend never lets you forget

to be humble.

no matter what...
