What makes you sit back and think - "I'm happy"

I look at pictures, from the past (obviously) and have such great rememberances. I'll share some of mine if you do! :)

9. Remember the future

Smile if you want to
Not when you can
Break down if you want to
Not when you can
Follow me home 'cos tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes
You stand before me Fate in your hand
You say tomorrow will never begin
Follow me home 'cos today is tomorrow yesterday

11. The other night

when I was watching the Preservation Hall Jazz Band play I sat back & had that very thought. It was sweet.

12. A Cohiba and a well aged Port

on my porch at the end of the workday.

13. the condition called "euphoria"....

....is often associated with jazz, especially the old traditional stuff. I know that my mood, my energy level, my outlook on life can all be transformed for the better by listening to old Louis Armstrong, or Ellington, or Fletcher Henderson, or Jelly Roll Morton, or Teddy Wilson or any number of others. And I'm not that old!

15. I prefer a Padron Anniversary and a Bitburger n/t

[Dob Bole]

14. Ralph Nader and Joseph Lieberman

Oh yeah... they make me glad to be alive.



But a hot tub is better.

16. My 5 year old boy

Not a day goes by that I'm not amazed by something he says or does...

Tonight, we were watching Shrek, and we paused the movie so he could use the bathroom. When he returned, he said, "Ok. You can resume playback now."

What a kid! :D

17. *sitting back* ... Yep, that works.

I'm easy. Probably just endorphins or some such chemical. Happy is my default mode, doesn't much matter what's going on outside.
When I need a little extra help, music does it. Reading. Backrub. Writing. Box of mints.
