38/365 The Happiness Project
Today is September 25, 2009.
I know what you're thinking. That is not the face of happy. Alright, I admit it. Guelph is a mess, and I and everyone else who lives downtown has had it. This is Norfolk Street, which is pretty much the major artery leading into downtown, and which has been torn to the ground for months. Now I seldom drive anywhere, so today is like every other day, and I'm trying to get to the Stone Store for some organic sugar, but even walking is difficult. At least there are bags of sand to sit on while you wait for the parade of graders to pass by.
It has become a bit of a joke now between a friend and I when we are walking downtown. "Kabul is looking MUCH better today". Or, "Why did we move to Beirut again? Gawd, what were we THINKing?" We are very, very funny.
But we don't live there. It's some construction, it's inconvenient, but it is Guelph, Ontario. Canada. This is where we live. And it's difficult to pick up my organic groceries, but this is probably the worst thing that will happen to me today, or to anyone in Guelph today.
Happiness is living in paradise. Canada, not Kandahar. And knowing when it's time to just relax and get a grip.
