I think I’m about to start putting dreams in action. Bout to get funky on’em

This girl, my roommate, is the definition of happiness; a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.

It becomes her, she exudes it, and she wears it proudly.  She even wakes up smiling.  Merely dwelling in her presence is a lesson in living your best life.

“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”  After 23 years of being a cynic and pessimist, I’m ready to make a change.  Yes, being a blunt and realistic are characteristcs that make me who I am, but cynical and pessimistic are two characteristics in which I no longer choose to be associated with.  

“I’ll give you a meditation. … Sit and smile. Even smile in your liver.Smile all the way through. Sit there and smile all the way through and see if that doesn’t work a little bit to start to change your life and cause a little revolution in your mind.” - “Eat, Pray, Love”

I have a rendezvous with Life,
In days I hope will come,
Ere youth has sped, and strength of mind,
Ere voices sweet grow dumb.
I have a rendezvous with Life,
When Spring’s first heralds hum.
Sure some would cry it’s better far
To crown their days with sleep
Than face the road, the wind and rain,
To heed the calling deep.
Though wet nor blow nor space I fear,
Yet fear I deeply, too,
Lest Death should meet and claim me ere
I keep Life’s rendezvous
