Making a Connection and Pursuit of Happiness

No this is not for a dating site but I do have some single friends that I am keeping my eyes open for ;)

During the many personal growth seminars and from chats with various friends; I have come to the conclusion that we ALL Want to be HAPPY!!! Do you actually know someone that do not want that?? It makes me happy that I can help someone; I am not looking for the thank yous but if I can help in any small part even if it does not work out, at least I try.

Today, after lunch, I dropped into the Choices Supermarket with a friend. I stopped at a counter where someone is promoting a product. Initially I stopped because there was no one there and I felt bad for the guy. (I have done what he did at one of my many assignments several life times ago so I know how he feels when people avoid eye contact and walk away.)

I am glad I stopped, it was an interesting product, he was giving out good samples (rice crispy bar and nicely packaged Salba Shots) and it was an interesting story. Check out their site www.sourcesalba.com . Turns out he is one of the owners and the staff he hired quit after he set up all the product promotion so he decided to man the booth himself. Initially, I thought of my friend who is in Adventure Racing that might benefit from the use of the product. As I was asking more questions, turns out that he did not have a West Coast publicist for his product promotion, and it just happens that I work with a publicist. How cool was that? Now a connection is made.

I enjoyed that a lot, matching things up. It doesn't matter if things work out or not, at least I make an effort to connect them. It makes me happy.

I am working on some other things that make me happy like spending time with baby A and let her mom have a rest and breather.. maybe next week when all our schedule gel together.

What makes you happy? It doesn't have to be big things, just small gestures that makes you smile. I still remember my cousin's little son's rendition of 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'. When he got to '..and a happy new year!' His Happy is HAP-PEEEEEEE, Hap-peeeeee, HAP-PEEEEEEEEE New Year! Every time I think of that when I am low or just want a good thought, it makes me smile and that makes me HAPP-PPEEEE!
