Tryin' for Happy

OK, so I can't sleep for worrying, so I decided to suck it up and look for "happy."  Happy is usually easy to come by for me, so I looked around.  My aquarium makes me happy.  I fed the fish and watched them for more than 20 minutes.  The shark has grown so much.  I took some pictures, then looked for a "before" picture of the shark.  WOW!  He's grown more than I realized!  The fish calm me.  Thanks, fish.

I found a picture, still sitting in my camera, of Kevin.  We were headed to a house warming party for a co-worker.  The truck needed fuel.  He hopped out, in the cold, with blustery, blowing snow.  It doesn't look it in the picture, but it was COLD!  He saw me pointing the camera at him and smiled.  Kevin isn't happy with his current weight, and avoids pictures at times.  Kevin isn't happy when it's cold.  Kevin isn't happy with the price of gas.  Kevin is "angry dad,"  but....BUT, Kevin knows how much I love taking pictures, and he smiled.  Such a small thing, but such a huge gesture.  He smiled for a picture in freezing temps without a jacket.  I love you, honey.

The other pictures are sky pics, that I take at least 10 of each week.  I delete most, since they're taken out the window of the van, and usually blur.  Sometimes, I hit on a winner.  I put two here.  I just wanted to find some peace tonight.  I found my peace.  Thank you, fish.  Thank you, Kevin.  Thank you, God-given sky.

I know a guy who keeps a big aquarium without any fish in it.  I shit you not.  He just has live plants and the bubble thing.  I have weird people in my life!
