A good friend of mine said he was just looking to be happy. Sounds like a simple thing but many know how difficult this is.

There are a good number of things that are landing in my unhappy zone and I’m having trouble snapping out of it. There are a few escapes but they are temporary. Because reality is there waiting for you.

Well, maybe I just need to change my reality a bit. Not a bad thing to evaluate periodically. I believe the first change I need to make is to stop expecting others to make me happy. It just doesn’t work that way. I need to be happy myself first. And I need to learn to just be happy with that and that alone.

It’s a lesson I should have had down long ago but I didn’t. That’s okay though, live and learn. Staying busy is a good way to go. Finding new passions and interest. Seeking ways to relax and relieve the tension I’m feeling.

The remaining minutes of the day are too few to turn it around. But tomorrow is another day to maybe catch some good vibes.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
