More and more things to be happy about!

This blog is turning into one of those really sappy stupid ones that talk about how you are my angel and angels give you wings (or is that redbull?) But anyway, I'm not really a person for whom happiness comes totally naturally, but despite that I am a person who is very, very happy a lot.

Things to be happy about these days:
-the loonie ($1 coin) I found that has TERRY FOX on it!
-Terry Fox
-springtime, of course
-longboards
-monogamy in the face of the college lifestyle
-Quebecois and their laughable, adorable, probably well-meaning insecurity.
-girl talk about vibrators and boys and scarves
-winning an election, even if one was running unopposed
-purple and grey fleeces
-the underlying patterns
-skiwaxing
-birkenstocks
-clean hair
-hugs
-true friends

A friend I know is going through a very cathartic period right now - for the first time in his life, he was dumped by his lover and he's fairly miserable. From the depths of his misery, however, he still speaks really fast and excitedly about the world and the Won Buddhist state of being. Less than 24 hours after being rejected, he said:

"You know, objectively, this is the worst I've ever felt in my life. And you know what? I'm learning. This catharsis is SO WORTH IT."

Impressive.
