Happy

So I was told in a response to my last blog that I seemed angry all the time. Then I went back and realized that I have been a bit on the agro side in my non comic book related blogs. SO what to do…write one about what makes me happy, it will probably be boring how ever. I mean who care about the happy stuff.

So what make me happy? Well, let us see.

Let’s start with my lady. I know it seems typical but she truly is the light of my life. Call it cheesy; call it what ever you want I do love her. Yes she is 19 years younger then I am but she still is the only one I want to be with. Best part about her, she wants to be with me. Yeah I love that she gets my geeky comic book jokes. Yes she is hot. It is true that we are “physically compatible”. However the “wanting to be with me” thing tops any list I have.

Next let’s move on to those (some of whom are reading) who I call friend. I hold my friends close even when I lose touch with them. Heck I recently saw a couple of friends that I hadn’t seen since before my lady was born (that would be 20 years ago). Call me crazy I like hanging out with people I feel I can trust. (Yes I have had a few people I called friend turn their back on me. However at the risk of sounding angry, the only one I know for certain did this also started the relationship with his now wife by betraying a friend and his then girlfriend, so I doubt he knows true friendship.) Friends are good to have and I am always glad to help them when I can. Also with enough friends you can throw a party and those are always fun.

I am glad to have the family that I do, the people who have to help you and whom you have to help. There is very little I can say about family that hasn’t been said better by hundreds of other people. Let us just say my family is on the happy list and leave it at that.

Walks in nature and getting in touch with the gods via them make me ecstatic. I love hiking and feeling the power of creation around me. It stirs a lot of emotions in me, but happiness is always among them. There is little anger or fear that can’t be put in its useless place by a walk or hike in nature.

Stories even the bad ones also bring me joy. It’s why I love comic books. It’s why I love being a story teller. It’s why I love the theatre. It’s why I love mythology. It’s the source reason for about a dozen things that make me happy. I truly believe that good stories are the god’s way of speaking to us.

The list may seem short but it’s really not. With the exception of my lady I am always surrounded by these things. Friends, family, stories and place to walk in nature are literally around me every day. I try to appreciate them which is hard as they are always there and easy to take for granted. Actually I hope before to long to add my lady to the list of things I see daily too. Any who for that’s my list of things that cause happiness for me. Not as exciting as sarcastic, and amusing complaining, but far more important too my life. Do I really expect any one out there to care? No. however I did feel it was important for me to let them know I do.
