Happy \o/



"Got my dreams, got my life, got my love,/

Got my friends, got the sunshine above./

Why I'm making this hard on myself,/

When there's so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy?"

(Natasha Bedingfield - "Happy")

I've been thinking about this post, and what I want with it is to make you think about the way you face your life.
It's common to complain and get sad when bad things happen to us. Other times, we're just so "used" to saying that we're "ok", that we forget that we have a plenty of reasons to be happy. And that's what this song is all about.

What never leave us are our dreams, another thing that we keep with us no matter the situation.

Another thing that helps us facing our problems is love, and here I don't mean the love between husband and wife or between any kind of coupl. The love here is the one that parents have for their children, that the friends have one for the other. The love that lasts a lifetime.

Even when going through the worst stuff we'll always have those true friends (you know, those few but really good ones) who give us support.

And no matter what we're going through we have to remember that we have the sun above us all the time, and just as the sun, we have to learn how to shine after a cloudy day, week or month, letting all the bad stuff go and showing the world all we've got!! Because in the end we have many beautiful reasons to be happy...

Sorry for the delay, but the mind keeps failing as we get old. And believe me: there´s nothing we can do about it. Just pray and ask God to prevent you from getting mentally ill that fast. Of course you´ve got to do your share by reading, writing, hanging around and saying useless things from time to time in order to deceive your declining brain and pretend it works perfectly.


Well, here are the pseudonyms for the real names given some posts ago. William Bradley is the astonishing Brad Pitt. Louise Ciccone is our star that will draw crowds to Maracanã in December, Madonna. Ramón Estévez is Martin Sheen, Martin Ann Evans, George Eliot, Neftalí Reyes the inspired Pablo Neruda and Robert Zimmerman, Bob Dylan.
