How to be happy

Trilby · 08-07-2009, 11:24 AM

I'm sitting here wondering, "why did I immediately dislike her?"

It's her litany of Wonderfuls. I don't have health, a soul-mate, a job I adore, nor do I live in a city I adore (or one that's even remotely interesting), etc., etc., but I have managed, in my own tiny, pedestrian way, to relish the good and hope for the light when it all fades to black. If THIS woman is unhappy, what hope for I?

The Born Agains would say she needs Jesus.
The Catholics would say Confession.
The pervs, a good lay.
The docs, a bit of serotonin.
The junkies would Rx a fix and a drunk would offer a snort.

We all take our medicine where we find it. I'm glad she's worked thru her ennui (for that it what it seems to this old woman) and can find joy again in, what I can only assume, by her OWN list, is her envious life. Maybe the Hamptons would cheer this dark night of her soul?

(yes, catty. Non, je ne regrette rien la chat)
