How to be Giddy Happy

So. Let's talk for a minute about things that make you happy. Not the usual crap that you have to tell people- like your kids, your dog, your health... blah blah blah. Of course that stuff is good and without them, you'd be pretty miserable, but I'm talking about the giddy happy stuff. The happy that gets you when you fit into a pair of jeans that you had given up on. The happy you get when there's no one home for a few hours, and you have YOU time to just sit on the couch and stare into oblivion (or the TV), completely uninterrupted. The happy you get when you get to hang with someone that just unabashedly likes you for you.

This was before the conversation got...adult

What is it about those friends that practically vomit positivity on you that makes you choose them all the time? I decided to sit down with the other half of Red Brunette - the Brunette, Clara, and come up with some kind of hypothesis about what it is that connects us..

It broke down a little something like this: Under my name is what Clara said about me and vice versa

Awesome Hair Her muscles excite me

Cares ALOT Too much caring

Nice ass No ass

Funny Funny by accident

Can make a joke out of ANYTHING Never gets offended

Writing Sweetest mother and wife Annoying need to skip a workout to sleep ANNOYING dedication to the Sometimes worrisome sense of style gym Not artistic AT ALL offensively creative

Can cook well Puts out the best Smart charcuterie spread ever!

Has her contractor's license. (How badass is that?)

Obviously, what connects Clara and I is that we are somewhat polar opposites, she is dumbfounded by the stuff that comes out of my mouth, yet can't get enough of me. Her sweetness leaves me in awe, and I wonder how it's possible to be so nice and positive all the time.

Ultimately, the point of this cringe-worthy blog is to encourage you to surround yourselves with people that just make you happy. Utterly delighted. With so much negativity out there, and so many friends who are in name only, root yourself in honest, real soil. Free those anchors from your life, find friends that can laugh so hard with you, that they either snort or pee. If they do neither of these things, find some that do. Friends that will run someone over for you, and who lift you up. Up is where you want to be, people. Always.
