A journey of a thousand miles...

She's sitting on her knees, overlooking the valley.

Above her is a vivid blue sky, spotted with thin, trailing, white clouds. 

Far into the distance is a mountain. Tall, strong, and majestic, the purplish rocks look slightly menacing, and very powerful. 

The valley below her is green and lush. Further into the valley is a forest, dark, thick, and frightening.

She sits there, fingering the grass around her knees, the slight breeze playing with her hair. She watches as small creatures, birds, squirrels, groundhogs and the like, run about in the valley, busy with their lives.

How to be Happy

Hey guys!

So, as some of you may know, I've been sick for the last few days.

When I get sick, I tend to start wallowing in self pity and thinking of all the terrible things that have happened to me in my life.

I'm just going to go ahead and point out that my life hasn't exactly been one long happy story, I've certainly had my fair share of downers. If you were to look at my life story, it would be easy to understand why I tend to get upset sometimes.

But you know, nobody's life is one long happy story. You can't expect to have happiness without some bad stuff along the way.
