#365DaysofHappyforTodd

I like to think that most people think of me as a pretty happy person.
I am, for the most part.
I went through some 360 Leadership training earlier this year and did some goal orienting and yada yada yada.
Anyhoo, the end result was some good introspection.
One thing that occurred in the outside looking in was that I actually have a lot to be happy about and gratitude is something to be shared and enjoyed.
Not to be bragging, not to be a show-off, just to say "I'm happy, and thankful."
Did you know that they can tell if you are depressed by analyzing your Facebook?

So, I saw something call the 100DaysofHappy and of course there are 365daychallenges, you name it.

I'd LOVE to know what makes you happy too.

Use the hashtag #365daysofhappyfortodd (seriously, no one is using it).

Starting July 27- which is my birthday, but not the reason for happiness alone.
Want to celebrate with me? Share the happy!

Without the music tie in, why would people BOTHER with Myspace? I'm talking about it because my wife's band has used every medium known to mankind to promote themselves online and Myspace has been nothing but dead weight from the very beginning. Only bands and their most ardent fans go there. The rest are on Facebook. There is talk of selling Myspace, but who in their right mind would consider it?

New Life

It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening. Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring. I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now. Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat. I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could.
