The How of Happiness!

[marta]

On that note... I have a list of songs on my iPod that I call Marta's Happy Place.... Here's a sample of Marta's happy place - music really has a strong impact on how I feel. I also have my amazing family that give me more happiness than I could ever ask for.

and last but certainly not least a visit to the hospital....

Basement Jaxx-Where's your head at - YouTube

OK, this gives way more insight into what happens inside the brain behind this keyboard than any post I have previously written. But it is my happy place. I listen to these when I'm bummed out, or if I need a boost to do something physical, and it use to be the music I listened to when I worked myself out before getting this stupid sickness. I will listen to them again when I am in remission and am stressing my body out to get stronger and stronger and stronger.... somewhere on a mountain top or something equally cool.

I took my daughter to a black eyed peas concert last year. I think it was the happiest I have ever seen her. Maybe I will make a cd list of your choices...I need something to bring me up.

I love those guys. If Brian ever wanted to surprise me with something cool, a Black Eyed Peas concert would do the trick - nudge nudge wink wink Bri. I think Will I Am is amazing too - did you see him on Oprah paying off people's mortgages - just cuz.

Speaking of Will I Am, here's one I've posted before from Sesame Street, but I love it, and it's very US (not United States 'us', but recovering Weggies 'us') Sesame Street: Will.i.am's Song "What I Am" - YouTube

LOL Marta, ever since you first posted it that video cheers me up. I watch it every so often and sing along.

Ok I can think of things that bring me joy and as long as I focus on those all the other crappy stuff can be ignored for a bit...but reality is we have both and we all deal with it differently...trust me there are days i want to run away to a deserted island and live off fish and coconuts...but then I think of my kids and what i would miss...so it s like balance...gotta take the good with the bad....wish my family could understand that
