It's amzing how small things really can make you feel happy again. Like feeling better. God I feel happy, happier than I have been in a long time. I was driving running some errands on this fine day in FSJ. It was either -2 or +2 I forget, but it was really brisk. I noticed when I pulled out of the driveway I seemed bit more chipper. I had shaved a few minutes ago. Needless to say, I think the winter air helped out a lot. I felt more relaxed, and the prospect of being able to stay outside without having the nagging cold force me to go back in was promising.

I exchanged out a cd I currently had in, LOTR: The Two Towers Soundtrack and put in David Usher. I think from now on I will associate his pop-ful music with my happiness, at least to that moment. His cheerful voice with so-so lyrics really picked up me. And for the first time in a long time I opened up the windows as I drove. Breathing in the winter air was like a slight tickle on my nose hairs, more like a massage, as only a cool breeze can offer your skin. I smiled uncontrollably and wanted to pass this happiness on to other people, driving past by me. Just being able to hear the ambient sounds outside was relieving.
