Does anybody remember the Happiness Challenge that took place a few years ago? Today, as I think back, it seems like everyone is unhappy, so let me challenge you to write down a memory that makes you happy. To get this started, these are my happiest memories and they turned my life in a better direction...what's your story?

I'm still hanging onto every syllable, longing for the retraction; Lois Henry? Retraction? Never, and I never wanted to see one because, to be perfectly honest, that just wasn't the writer I flipped the pages to get to every morning for over three decades. I always had a cup of steaming hot, very strong, Italian roast coffee ?? in my hand, but the caffeine didn't wake me, that was her job...and wake me up she did. I experienced every emotion known to humans from laughter to tears and anger or pain - she made her point effortlessly and I spent hours trying to prove my own view. I will now confess, once or twice I might have been wrong lol, but in my mind I was forced to confess that Lois Henry made a few good points. Okay, maybe she made a lot of good points, but whose counting... Thank you for engaging minds like mine and forcing people like me to search our souls for how we really felt about a wide range of issues. Please write some books so you fans can be further tormented by your keen instinct and have more thought provoking, one-sided discussions with our Lois Henry...

Confess, this happens a lot, but I guess it could be worse....

I never curse, but sometimes what comes out fails to convey what I intended to say. Anybody else wish God had designed our mouths with a 5 second delay button?

Just saying

I hope this encourages you as much as it does me; just yesterday I was heading North on Chester Avenue and decided to turn Right on 24th Street. Even the police officer said I should have gone Left, which explained why everyone else was going the wrong way...
