What the Bleep Is Happy? Defining Joy After 32 Years Together

What the bleep is happy?

First off a very loud and obnoxious Happy Anniversary! to the beautiful souled Maria who puts up with my sometimes surly being. I love this person wholeheartedly, even living in the smallest of confines. Okay, I'm done with the smoochie stuff...Maria and I have been married for 29 years, 32 years being in that special bonding prior to our nuptials. And in those 32 years I've met and observed some truly unhappy people!

What defines happy to me.

Happy to me is the last 32 years with the partner I'd die for, the person who encouraged me, pushed me and who helped me stumble to the many goals I have set out to do. I hope I have helped Maria do the same through our years together. We have been travelling, exploring, and enjoying life. We have faced loss in our lives on a scale that I won't get into, and yet our thick skinned, hard headed ways keeps us a "Happy Couple" . We are impenetrable because we have each other and we are a solid unit of, well, happiness, for the most part and lack of a better descriptive.

Why are people so unhappy?

For starters, they surround themselves with other unhappy people who continually bring them down (sometimes unbeknownst to them). They blame others for their own hardships, people from their past, creating their own reality that may not be true. Unhappiness in people forces a chase or hunt after all that glitters when in actuality they are disappointed, let down and usually in debt when they get it. People will disappoint, so be aware of those you keep in the social circle. That's my observation as to what creates unhappiness and I can attest to these situations because I've been there. I speak from the darkness out of a time when I wasn't happy, many and many years ago.

How can you change that unhappiness? Put the work in. Plan for change and keep your head above all that tries to drown you. Search inside, grab that smiley face, sit down with it and enjoy the company. Make some goals that create the special space or place, whether it's life, minimizing, or just ignoring negativity. I guarantee results will follow.

That's all I have. Happy 29th Anniversary to my bride, Maria. 2❤️ ❤️ 's became one on September 21st 1996 and here we roam on a journey we wouldn't change for the world. I love you Maria! Here's to many more! 🥂
