20 Keys to a Happy Life

Today I'm feeling kindof blah. Is it weird that sometimes we just need to be alone, but our problems don't necessarily involve the people we're close to? I went to play piano, thinking that it might cheer me up, let me get some emotion out. It did, I guess.

It's freezing outside (literally) and drizzling, so it's kindof like really tiny snow. I think I'll go back home, but take my time. Funny how the outdoors can act like medicine sometimes - I even went to visit my fountain (I call it mine...I guess it technically belongs to UTD)...just the sound was soothing.
I don't even know for sure what's bothering me. Hmmm...I'll get better.

Today's Random Fact: I hate bugs, but I love the outdoors. I love tent-camping, hiking, picnics...all of it. I just don't like the beach (but that's due to the copious sand that I still find under my fingernails a week later).

20 Keys to a Happy Life (My pastor mentioned these in his sermon...I think they're fitting now.)
