About me:

....
SEPTEMBER 2009 - HAPPYNESS? YES!

The pursuit of happiness was written into the U.S. Constitution supposedly by Thomas Jefferson. In the film, The Pursuit of Happyness, the character played by Will Smith inquires (to no one in particular) How did Thomas Jefferson know to use the word 'pursuit'? I myself believe it is precisely because at the time, Thomas Jefferson was a mature man whose life experiences had probably taught him that many of us pursue happiness a lot more than we allow ourselves to actually fully experience happiness.

I use the word 'allow' because many of us consciously pursue happiness instead of subconsciously finding it within our own selves & by extension within our own lives which causes many of us to find or rather pursue happiness OUTSIDE of ourselves...so for far too many of us the grass is indeed greener on the other side. Sad isn't it???

However, this video from U-Tube is about Friendship. The kind of Friendship that looks past everything and fully embraces happyness which may not be perfect happiness, but its as close to happiness as we get here on Earth and for most of us that's good enough. I'll take the happyness and save my big laugh for when I cross over to the other side & see what all the fuss is about. Until then, I'll accept happyness as often as it presents itself to me because like the film, like the words in the U.S. Constitution and like real life, true happyness is not for the lazy, the faint-hearted or the non-believers. True happyness means you've got to roll up your sleeves and work at it. We all have to excel within ourselves in order to be successful in life & in finding true happyness.
