Glad to be Alive aren't you?

For the past few days we got fucked up a bit didn't we? OK. Not a bit, but we got fucked. Hundreds of homes filled to the brim, hundreds of cars barely even starting, hundreds of businesses destroyed, hundreds of people separated from those who they love, hundreds of lives lost.

I know it is kind of strange to be writing about something that has caused so much grief among us with all the stuff destroyed and people missing in a Happiness Blog. A freaking HAPPINESS blog. But hey we're suppose to be happy right?

Why? Well think of this weird probably unrelated analogy/symbol/whatever.

Imagine a piece of apple pie. Think of as you're sort of happiness/life/blessings/prized possession. Now you bring it around with you as you wait for a perfect moment to eat it. But unfortunate things happen to you. People push you around even you still have the pie. The eain seems to enjoy pouring buckets-loads of water on you. The heat of the sun seem to scorch you and your pie. But you hold on to it. It is apple pie after all right? After all that you go look around and see people have no apple pie. You then take a bite from the pie and feel how it tastes sweeter after all the crappy things that have happened to you, and you feel your fortunate enough to have some of that apple pie that no one else has.

Now aren't you glad to have that apple pie to hold on to until now? Doesn't it taste sweet? I guess that's how you should treat what you have right now after we got out of that hell hole called Undoy.

While you're at it why don't you share some of that apple pie around?
