Happiness is...
heading over to your local Macaroni Grill, enjoying one of their gluttonous desserts, and drawing crude pictures on the paper table covering with the crayons they provide. (They should know better than mix drinks and crayons, shouldn't they?)

Good times. :thumbsup:

11. Happiness is?? I don't know (here are a few quotes though )
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy. Robert Anthony

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. Michaelangelo

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. Oscar Wilde

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.
Swedish Proverb

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.Cynthia Nelms

You can't teach anybody anything, only make them realize the answers are already inside them . Galileo

14. Some of my favorite quotes are from Oscar Wilde.
Perhaps I should have written a quote from him on the Macaroni Grill tablecloth instead of drawing a picture of a naked arse. ;)

I love those quotes. Where did you find them?

4. We don't have a Macaroni Grill anywhere close, but
we DO have a Garfield's, and they have the paper and crayons on the table, too. We have a dear friend who's a talented artist, and when he comes to town for a visit we always go there so he can leave something amazing for the waitstaff to find when we leave. :hi:

5. Getting stoned off your ass and dissecting the music of John Coltrane.
Or as I call it, "What I did today." ;)

8. yep
that pretty much defines happiness for me too, I'd love to know the location. I just dipped all four of my dogs in the pond, but there is nothing like cold mountain water on a day like today.
