Happiness is...

I drove out of my way this afternoon just for Mary Lou's iced coffee. It's the little things in life. It really, really, really is the Best Coffee in Town. That ain't just hype.

Today I subbed one of my favorite places to sub, the Davis Library. Or Liberry, the most delicious and learn-ed type of berry.

The other night I was excited to learn a new cardgame with A&D. We went over to hang after my family cookout and their family visit because after families everyone need to decompress. It was fantabulous. We played and chatted and had a great time until 2am! It was an evening complete with one hell of a spit take. I adore them. Well, my friends AND spittakes both.

Can I say something? I am unreasonably happy lately. Like, the happiest I have been in a long time. And fairly healthy too. I qualify it as unreasonable because it is non-sensical and completely insane to be so happy right now. I'm worse than broke, super-duper unemployed, my future seems nebulous and childless and grim, and yet I am very contented. I smile alot. I hum. I sing little ditties. I blithely ignore my responsibilities and chores, but, hey... nobody's perfect!

I'm loving my friends more than ever, appreciating little things everyday and finding myself grateful for things more than I am resentful. And romantically? Holy moly. Awesome. Just very, very fulfilled and pleased and happy.

So what the hell does all this mean? What's up with this bizarre sense of peace and calm and bliss? I don't have any idea. not a clue. But I'm diggin it.

I'm looking forward to being Baby Pigeon's Auntie Beth too, and can't wait to meet the little sassafrass!


Dear Unexpected Joie de Vivre,

Thank you so much for showing up unexpectedly and sticking around for a while. I understand you'll only be visiting and will need to be moving along, but hell, I intend to enjoy you while you're here. Let's make a habit of these little visits, shall we? THX THX THX!

Greatefully,
Beth

oh! i know why you must be so happy! it is because you can't wait to babysit for me! for free! (you didn't read that last part, i'mm sure....) hehehehehehe.

actually, it's probably the sex you are having. sex always = awesome happy face as far as i'm concerned. even the 37 weeks pregnant frustrated because you are fat kind.

also, we should play 45s again soon! we bought "tofu pups" (even though that sounds kind gross, they are only tofu hotdogs).
