1:13 a.m. I post a
photo from a few months back ... it has no significance for
today except that it's: sunny. The man is: happy! He's fully
enjoying his life and his moment and his strange hobby --
he's running his wooden boat with a steam engine, feeding it
slices of kindling between posing for photos.
Being happy is a decision we make, just like any other.
It has nothing to do with health, wealth, or luck. You
either look around your own little kingdom and smile at what
you see, or you don't. This man does, and did. I'm smiling
as I write this. Why not?
I feel much better than I did early this morning. I took
two aspirin and I took a clean dishtowel and I wet it and
wrung it out and then I put it in the microwave for 35
seconds and then I put it on my face. Pressed it around my
eyebrows and the bridge of my nose and took the moment to
thank God for that short, sweet blast of electricity.
Just stumbling along.
But smiling. It's always better to smile. It's always
better when you smile. Better smile now. That short, sweet
blast.
