Happystance.

Wow. It has been quite awhile since I wrote.  I have approached the blank blog page several times but  fear took over because the notion of what I might right will be uninteresting and beige. I realize however, that every time I wrote, I never really led myself to one particular subject or another. As I write, the thoughts and ideas ignite and it ends up turning into "something".

Today, I write about happiness. How do you approach the pursuit of happiness? Are you pursuing it? You should be. What do you think you should do? Wait for it to knock on your doorstep in the still of the night like a masked intruder with force and dominance? That is not how it works my darlings. You must run and run fast towards happiness. You must bait a trap, set a trap, and capture it as if your life depended on it for your life source. After all, without it what IS life? Do you ever wonder why you are put here?  You are put here to exist, but existing isn't just the breath of life, it is the action, the reaction, the pursuits, the loves, the losses and everything that occurs in between.

People always say, don't chase it, let it find you. I call bullshit.  I would be damned if I wait for happiness to come to me!  Why delay the  chance to smile, to find love, to feel joyous?

Truth Be Told:  Don't wait until it's too late to start pursuing your "silly" dream or your "pipe" dream. And stop calling it that.  Call it YOUR dream and start NOW. Why wait? Writing makes me happy and I have delayed it way too long,  welcome back self!
