The Happiness Thread

So, with all my exploring, I found myself a little, unteathered... so i have been revisiting some old hobbies like woodcarving trying to remember who I am. As i continue to work, i pick up new skills and my projects cone out nicer every time. Coworker's and friends have started making requests. Here is one piece i finished recently.
Ive had the most success making wands, but the picture files are too large to share

 

That's really cool!

 

Just having those moments where I'm lucky, and happy, to be alive in 2017.

 

Someone told me I looked like I should be a film star What sort of compliment is that???? This is crazy.

 

Just kidding!

 

She looks kind of crazy.

 

@Iain Aschendale Yeah, that's probably what he meant actually

 

I think that's Charlise Theron as Aileen Wernos in Monster. So yeah. She's meant to.

 

I'm happy that after six months, there is only one week left until I am home. I'm so very excited to see the wife and son again.

And so very tired. Six months is just too long away from home.

 

Two questions:
1) Where have you been? The International Space Station?
2) Specifically, whose wife and son are you referring to?

 

My wife and son, and many different Pacific Islands.

 

Kicking ass on my story.

 

I had a conversation with other native English speakers last night!

For the first time since January 5th!

It was nice...

 

That can be so easily taken for granted.

 

Happiness can not be a goal. It is too god-damn elusive. In fact it is probably something we may encounter along the way to finding out what we are about.

Sounds cliche, I know.

It was basically disappointing and simple-stupid when I understood how small my arena actually was, but I felt happiness many times via a simple fix on the machines I work on. And that is so sweet and scary in how this ends up making me feel. Happy to know that I have been able to live this. It may be that simple-stupid to feel happy. What have I been thinking ?

Fawk !

 

Hung out with my family, defeated a difficult boss in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and found myself on a writing binge. It's also warm and sunny outside. Finally.

I feel so happy right now.

 

That game looks so pretty! And it seems to be harder than previous Zelda games.

I have a similar happy, although it'll only make sense if you've played Dark Souls III, but I'm happy 'cause I managed to spank some gankers' asses during the weekend when I was doing PvP invasions.

Also wrote a lot, which always feels like an accomplishment even if/when it's crap.

 

newbie here. posting in the happiness thread because..I picked up fora for writers, wrote my first 500 words of an idea that has been floating around for a while and read up on other peoples idea of "being a writer". not quitting my dayjob any time soon but it's a start

 

Tuesday is surprisingly relaxing for me considering the work I'm doing at my job.


(Damn, does it feel so good to say "my job". I actually feel like I'm contributing my small part to society and better yet, what I do will have actual physical outcomes I can see for many years to come. I'll look back and say, "I helped them build that structure in my own little way.")

 

Construction related?

If so - high-five, construction brother!

 

I'm working at a soils lab as a tech, so what I do helps the construction people. High five!!

 

I recently purchased two web domains that I hope I will be able to make some money off of. I was able to get KingKongvGodzilla.com and GodzillavKingKong.com. The movie Godzilla Versus King Kong is a Warner Brothers movie slated to be released on my birthday May 29th, 2020. It would be nice to be able to sell the domains to Warner Brothers and make a little bit of money... I really want to take a nice vacation this winter. If anyone has any inside contacts let me know.

 

I just discovered I'm in the ackowledgements section of a real published book! I beta'd it for the author last year, finally got around to buying the published version, and there I am. I feel almost as proud as if it
were my book

 

I had a chat with my boss today, he's given me the green light to take the course for the next step in the ranks. Considering he's only been my boss a month that's made it pretty sweet.
