Gone Fishin'

What do I do that makes me happy? 

What makes me lose track of time, forget everything else?

These are the things that define who I am, the pursuits I want to cultivate.

It's important to be able to access these things, so it's better if they don't require outside sources.

My world is full of easily reached resources, things I don't need other people, or money in order to enjoy.  I like to walk - in the park, in the woods, around the lake.  I love to read and there is always the library when nothing else is available.  I like to write - my imagination takes me places I love to go.  And speaking of that, there is meditation and plain old day dreaming.  Sometimes I like to just sit and look at water, the way it moves, the depths of it, the creatures around it.

Happiness doesn't have to come without other people.  Some of my happiest moments are with those I love, but my own company is always here and it needs to be good too.

Gone fishing --  for happiness.
