Random Thoughts

I've got this MP3 player that records voice messages and I've started carrying it around so I can capture any thoughts or ideas that seem to seem to be worth remembering.  So this will be a bunch of (mostly) unrelated  vignettes.

I think if we can sense even a faint potentiality of happiness we must grab on to it and hang on with all our tenacity.  It's our responsibility to be selfish in the way we treat ourselves.  Happiness is out there and must be pursued diligently.
In this vein, I found a neat web site called pursuit-of-happiness.org which talks about the history and science of happiness.  What a concept!  I'm trying to ask myself every day, "What can I do today to bring myself happiness?"

"Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence."  Aristotle 
 I wagged my tail at a guy after he let me onto the road in very heavy traffic.  That is, I gave him a big smile and a friendly wave. I actually do wiggle my butt wag my tail in my car seat at a time like that.  It makes me giggle.

This gelato is sinfully good!  1/3 the calories of ice cream and much better tasting since it's not pumped full of air.  And, they even have chocolate!

The Troublesome Mind.  Sounds like a good title for another time.

We must realize how lucky we are as humans to be the only organisms on earth with the capacity of self awareness.
