Today is national “Admit That You’re Happy” Day… Okay, I’ll go ahead and admit it, I’m not as happy as I could be.

I feel like I should be happier. I don’t have a fatal disease, I have a family that loves me (and that I love back), I have a home, I have money (not a lot but I’ve got some) and life is pretty ok. I am happy… but like I said, not as happy as I know I could be.

There’s a lyric from a Mesh StL song that says “she’s reaching out for the only thing that never lets her down” and it was pretty profound for me. I realized that food is like that for me sometimes. I mean, eating Dreamery Coney Island Waffle Cone ice cream is NEVER a downer. It always makes me feel good. In this life tons of things let you down, whether it’s friends, parents, or the opposite sex. A lot of the time its easier to believe in something that you know you can control and isn’t going to lie to you, or walk out or annoy the hell out of you.

I’m working on reaching for a bottle of water instead of a pint of ice cream though… It’s a start.
