if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands(!)

This past week, an Renaissance man came and talked to us. Not like from that era and whatnot, he's just done a bit of everything. his dad was a contractor so he did lots of manual labor and is an artist, hunter, safari guide, and tons of other stuff. his name's McGee. that sounds like a dr. seuss character from "if i ran a zoo"...hmm.

so basically we got tips on how to be happy. which i think is great, cus that's pretty much what everyone wants in life. i mean, who says "yea i wanna be miserable my whole life"? no one i know at any rate. so. how to be happy. remember how, in your childhood, there were certain things you did where you were just so happy and blissful; the world could be crumbling round you and you wouldn't notice because you were so wrapped up in your activities? well, try to get back to that. what you loved in your childhood is the key to happiness in adult life. your childhood makes the base of everything you end up being; so wouldn't it make sense that the things you loved as a child will be most similar to the things that you will love as an adult. like, if your favorite thing was to have tea parties for your dolls, maybe catering or planning events would be the best thing for you.

when you're deciding your future, you need to be sure to have self-principles developed. you want a strong moral foundation so you can make good choices for yourself. also, you should start saving up money so when you decide to settle down and get married you'll have back-up funds should any disaster occur.

slow down, breathe, relax. "do what you love. love what you do" (good life).
