The First Happy

I suppose when blogs begin it's for any number of reasons....tracking projects, documenting an aspect of life, becoming the next Julie and Julia, an outlet to get everything out of your head and out to someone - anyone - else.... and I suppose this one is no different except that it's mine. 

I won't try and tell you all about me up front as I presume stories will come up when then need to based on the circumstances.  But I will say this I feel like I'm on the cusp of something bigger than I can imagine.  A change I can't yet see but feel in my soul.  A happiness like I've never known.  And I have known some happiness.   In fact I lived inside the dream world, doing my dream job, with a guy I thought was a dream, getting closer and closer to what I thought would be a happily ever after.  Except the word happy seemed/seems to be out of reach to me.  

My mom tells me not to be so serious all the time, my dad tells me that I have such a wonderful sense of humor but he sees it slipping away, friends say they like when I'm happy, the (now ex) guy used to say he never knew how to make me happy and when I sit down to write out what makes me happy I have trouble coming up with an honest list.  So where did I lose it?  Where along the way to this life I wanted did I learn to live without it? 

Well, I'm done asking when? why? what? I am shaking it up and going to CHASE THAT HAPPY.  Finding it in every crook and cranny I can and documenting it along the way just in case I ever lose it again.   Expect some threads but some complete randomness as I share what makes me smile.  And please share what makes you smile. (Whoever you future readers may be)  Who knows maybe Meryl Streep will someday play my mom in the movie....but as an actor I just hope I can play me.   

My first happy and my inspiration for blog title....Ze Frank.   This man is a riot, a hoot, a kindred soul in the goofy.  I visit his blog and watch the many videos, search through the projects when I need a smile, an inspiration, a reminder to look at people for who they are - people.  

And my favorite video with the happy typist dance (which I sometimes do at bars to get people to laugh)   ENJOY!  Laugh and then post your favorite Ze link.
