Take one...

Alright, well here's the first of many(?) posts chronicling the ups, downs, sideways and diagonals of my crazy-zany, dull life...

This weekend was the weekend of all weekends. It was the weekend I needed. It was the weekend we all need every once and a while, and well this was my "while". Lately, I've been pretty much being forced into re-examining the good the bad and the ugly of me, and really bringing it down to me, the whole of me, and what makes the whole of me happy. This weekend allowed me to do just that.

So what did this weekend teach me? Friends make me happy. Adventure makes me happy. Travel makes me happy. Spontaneity makes me happy. Eating yummy food makes me happy. Driving makes me happy. Dragon Boat paddling makes me happy. Getting out of a 300$ ticket by claiming your lost to the police officer makes me happy (and very lucky). Sleeping in an exceptionally comfy bed, with amazingly soft sheets makes me happy (heck sleeping in general makes me happy).

Being happy makes me happy. And I haven't felt happiness like I did this weekend in what feels like a very long time. I owe this to one of my most wonderful best friends Lisa. She has and continues to teach me many things, one of which is the importance of me doing things that make me happy, and I'm so grateful that she's willing to experience zany adventures with me to help me figure just that.

I wish you all the fortune of knowing what makes you happy. I hope I am part of that equation.
