14,000 things to be happy about (and my crazy duck theory)

i have that book, a lot of random things. like? well, let me randomly open the book and pick some things.
seasonable weather.
wild orchids.
jargon.

i have a happiness theory. also known as the crazy duck theory. in the fall of ‘07 i had a really rough spot, and gave happiness some thought. there will always be some crazy duck in your line that will prevent you from ever having your ducks in a row. that crazy duck can appear as depression, insanity, loss, financial woes, a broken heart, disappointment, failure, calculated and random acts of evil, the whole gamut. there will always be something there screwing it all up. happiness isn’t a perfect row of ducks. happiness isn’t having everything going your way. but this is where things in my theory get a little iffy. i know what happiness is not, but i don’t necessarily know what happiness is. and there is the question of, does it really matter if i am happy or not? perhaps happiness is overrated.

it’s obvious that i have lowered my happiness expectation. this could be a way to cope with my life. and maybe i have it completely wrong and happiness is having all your ducks in a row. at the end of my day, though, i should be thankful towards the ducks who are lined up, who are going according to plan. be accepting of how things are. but when you have a wild crazy duck it’s hard not to focus on it, grabbing all your attention. all your joy.

Alica Stovern died a week ago. she was a friend. when i thot i was over it. i listened to this song. and started crying. plz u guys….just dont take life for granted. life isnt fair. take each day as if it were your last. tell the person u hate that u want to make up. and tell ur secret love that you love them. and tell all the rest of the people in your life that they mean something to you. i dont mean to preach the good word to u. im just speaking my busied soul to you random strangers. <3

I Agree with you.. I lost my best friend and I know how hard it is and I feel? like people shouldn’t take life for granted but as usual they always will.. We are only human.

ur rite.i kno i will just take the joys in life for granted. but this death has put a bit of a different spin on? life. although it has only been a week, i have made up with a few friends and now i take a second thought on what i say and do. i think most ppl jus need a wake up call. so that might be the reasoning behind so many deaths in this world.God puts those bad things in life so we will pay attention.and not just drone on with this one life that we have. i appogize if u r not religious.
