The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...t_of_Happiness
Tacoma Said - If Scott he asks you to go on a hike, ask careful questions like "Is it going to be on a trail?" "What are the chances it will kill me?" etc. Maybe "Will there be sack-biting ants along the way?"

A woman in my neighborhood heard that the average person has 300 negative thoughts a day. She didn't believe that could be true, so she purchased a clicker / hand-held counter and made a click each time she had a negative thought for a week. At the end of the week she was so depressed that she stopped working out, and felt just awful about life. She then decided to flip it and make a click for every positive thought she had during the week and had nearly the polar opposite effect of the first week and had never felt better at the end of the "positive week".
I was driving to California last week and my daughter dropped her Minnie Mouse doll and started to cry because she couldn't reach it while she was buckled. My son tried cheering her up by telling her "Don't cry! It is a GREAT LIFE! It's a GREAT LIFE!!!" and I have been thinking about him saying that a lot this last week.
Coming back from California on Saturday my kids were sick and my wife was in the back of the van holding two containers (one in each hand) for different kids throwing up in those containers at the same time, and I again thought "It's a GREAT LIFE!". When I got home I took the car seats over to the car wash and used the pressure washer to spray off the car seats and some of the remnants of what was thrown up splashed up on me, not to mention it was freezing cold. I know this sounds crazy but I again heard the voice of my son saying "It's a GREAT LIFE" and I was struck with such happiness. I know on paper it doesn't sound like good experience but it is so awesome to serve your kids and love them so unconditionally.
So what has made me happy today, is just being a Dad. It is the greatest blessing. Before having kids I had done some awesome things (visited more than 30 countries, tour guided in Alaska for 7 years, played hard in Utah, scuba, etc.) and I have found that there is nothing better than being a Dad."My heart shall cry out for Moab..."

I am happy today because I know (beforehand) there is now puke in my car wash, so I will send an employee over to clean it up for me.
Your safety is not my responsibility.

My company taxes are done for the year and W2's have been sent out. It's always successful for me until that is done.

I was happy that there was not traffic on the roads on the account of many people staying at home because of the holiday. I'm pissed that I am not one of them.

About 2 seconds ago, looking at the girl in the Bad Idea T-shirts ad there on the right...the one slightly bending over with the tank top. Before that, it's been just another awesome day.

I toured the new Adobe building today and had lunch there. It is an impressive building and looks like a cool work environment. If you haven't seen it, its just past the point of the mountain in Lehi, UT. It is the first of 3 buildings that they have planned. The first sure dwarfed Cabela's.
