Happiness

The more I think about it , I really think that the Buddhist concept of happiness or lack thereof makes the most sense about how to look at it. What we lack and the desire seems to be the cause of so much pain for people and for myself in the past.

I spend so much time lately counting my numerous blessings. I have the absolute hands down no doubt it best wife in the world. Not only is she a knockout, but she is smart, funny and loving. She has the family that anyone would ever want. Stable, fun and happy individuals who are not afraid to be themselves always. My son is the cutest kid in the world. He is a happy baby 95% of the time, (Hey who can ask more from a baby). He is strong and healthy and even funny.

I have this wonderful mother who is always in my corner no matter how the chips have been down for me in my life. She is hardworking and loves me and Jen and Bodhi.

I love my job. OK if i'm being totally honest , I'd about 100 thousand or so a year but the thing is I don't need it to be happy. Sometimes the money gets tighter than I wish but it all works out great.

I'd love to lost some weight and I do fight the battle of the bulge on and off. But again I don't need to be a certain weight to be happy.

Happiness is such a great feeling. Besides all of the wonderful people I wanted to mention other simple things that just make me feel happy.

1. Going to the beach , looking at the ocean (always works for me no matter what)
2. Playing videogames.
3. Boardgames
4. A good beer or wine (Why lie?)
5. Good food and good company
6. Baseball
7.Going to New York
8. Travel in general
9.Most exercise
10.The first snowfall of the year
11. Not having to deal with snow on a regular basis.
12.Halloween

Thats a short little list there are so much more . Take care until I talk with you again!
