The True Cost of Happiness?
Aloha to ya'll!
After a week of hanging out in no mans land, I have decided to come to yet another conclusion in my life. It all started out by making the trip down to the middle of nowhere aka Oklahoma. Not sure where I was, but I do know the closest WalMart was about forty miles away. That is when you know you have hit BFE. Anyway, after five days down there I realized that maybe money and success is not directly related to happiness in life. I mean seriously, the median income down that way is around $40K per year. Being a young single guy in KC, I know that I cannot live as comfortably as I am used to on that kind of cash. To my utter shock, most people down there not only live on that, but live very well indeed. I have never met that many people in one place that were so happy with their lives. It wasnt until I was sitting on a boat in the middle of Lake Texoma that it hit me. Sitting there with the sun setting and the moon rising, I truly realized what happiness is. Boiled down and stripped of all the b.s. in life, happiness is what you make it to be. While I would never find a lifetime of happiness down there, that doesnt mean that others would not. With that knowledge in hand, I am off to seek true happiness. Good luck to each of you to not only find that in your life, but to live it as well. Till next time, peace out!

Hello hun! Another great entry my dear! True happiness is what you make it to be and I hope that you find it. Although being content is never a bad thing.
Much love,
