How to Be Happy

A quick how-to guide...

Remember happiness is not a permanent state.  It comes and goes like a little cloud.  Can descend upon you unbidden.  And can evaporate in a blink.

Yesterday was bliss.  Listened to some great music:  Wye Oak, The National, Tindersticks.

Had a wonderful meal at Tank Noodle.  A bright, bustling place.  The food and the floor show was just superb!

Visited the lakefront.  Watched the waves crash into the shore.  I do think our job is to observe the world.  And the closer we are to nature, the more elemental, the easier it is to find the bliss in a primal state of observation.

Tuned out the noise.  Sometimes you just need to pull your horns in and just ignore the white-noise craziness of the global noise machine.  There is beauty and love in the silence.  Less is more.  

A smaller, more intimate mental geography can be a universe of personal bliss.
