Hello world. Welcome to your autumn experience. If you are living in an area that witnesses the four seasons, expect falling leaves. I spent the morning going through some old papers. I tossed most of them out. They were out of date. I spent a little time on some of my favorite computer sites and then decided that, perhaps, if I hurry, I can still do something significant with this day. It is 2 pm already and I've been to Facebook, Yahoo and Ebay about a dozen times. Such a waste. I don't mean that those sites are a waste, I mean, that rat, running to the feeding stall for another cup of pressed corn pellets, action.
I did venture over to Ted.com and listened to a speech on the Happiness Planet. Imagine the concept of a world based on a nation's happiness level instead of their accrued income. It's a strange concept. The very idea of making a world where happiness really matters. And having this happy world also designed around the idea of taking less from the planet. Did you know that Costa Rica is the happiest country? Our American culture is in the throes of the dark ages of violent movies, computer games, literature, personal relationships and throwing up walls to solve problems.
Well, Rome was not built in a day but it was built. We could rethink things in America. We're innovators. I'll try to attach the speech that I listened to today....
The speech should be above this post.

There is such a lack of balance in our country. I think that's why the market for happiness is such a large and successful one. Whatever happened to balance..the good equally balanced with the bad? I can't help but think it comes from living simply, treating others fairly and kindly, and just allowing oneself enjoyment. How many Americans are capable of just relaxing, I don't know many.
