My aunt sent me an article that she's reading titled "Happiness Revisited." It's about how we create our own happiness through struggling for something we really want, and interpreting and managing our own personal experiences. It's an enlightening article, hence the renaming of my blog.

I've also been listening to more Jack Johnson, and I like what I hear, hence the subtitle.

I'm going home on Friday to see my dad; he's having a surgery to remove a cyst in his cervical spine. Apparently the surgeon has done only one surgery like it in his 25 year career, since the forming of cysts in the neck area is very rare. It seems like a complex surgery, so I will be glad to be home with my Old Man when he gets out of the hospital.

I'm going to fill out a job app for the Poudre School District and turn it in tomorrow . . . hoping something will come of it . . .
