This journal wanders about. It's poetry, reflections, snippets from other stories and ideas of others, and my own pot luck thoughts reflecting the transparent thinking of this post-traumatically stressed, majorly depressed social phobic before and after my breakdown.

Am i right or am i wrong?


So, happiness? What's that all about? Who defined it, why do we pursue it? It's a fragile and tenuous state of being.. It comes and it goes. It depends on so many things and life situations and personalities and economics and.....another list! My son-in-law sent me this: http://www.newsweek.com/id/158754

Whatever it entails, happiness is often a dream, a hoped for thing. We know it is a very temporary state but still we all pine for it. I don't like the generic "happiness" formula. It's a hoax. (generic = a happy person is a balanced person,). I don't want to say happiness is ethereal or translucent but the definition of happiness is so very deeply personal and always evolving and ever-changing

HAPPY

I watch baseball with my boyfriend; i watch basketball with my son-in-law, i read mysteries with my daughter....a list goes on and on. It warms me.
I see a full larder and i feel "full"
I see birds on the feeder and feel in tune with something bigger than myself, a force, as it were.
i hear wind through pines and i dream of everything, happy and sad and it's ok.
i see a baby's smile and get the tenuous but loving hug from a five year old.
The Liberals win a majority in the Oct. 14/08 election in Canada.
Rice or Chocolate Puldding
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter

SAD
Hurricane victims
Bad baby food
Bad politics
more things than i can write down.\am i right or am i wrong?

Yay! You're blogging again! I love the new layout, and your humour shines through ...

Listen, sweet: if you love chocolate pudding and you must have it NOW ... find yourself a tub of "Kozy Shack" chocolate pudding at a grocery store. DANGEROUSLY ADDICTIVE. Wish I had some right now!!!!

Love you xo
