"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.." Albert Camus
a couple of months ago, i remember waking up one morning, slightly hungover from some vodka drunk in the spirit of estonian independence day, but i remember feeling light, happy, smiling....and then i remember that i stopped...analysed...questioned myself, "why are you feeling happy?"....and my smile quickly turned to a frown because i couldnt think of a "good reason" to be feel happy at that moment...
but this last week i have been at home on sick-leave, recovering from a small surgery (dont worry, everything is fine ;) and despite some post-surgery pain, i have been waking up and consciously choosing to be happy...trying to focus on having a good recovery.....watching funny movies, sleeping in :) and i realised that i didnt need to analyse this happiness feeling or justify it to myself or anyone else...that i can be happy because i am :D

Heehee, do you think it is an AIESEC habit? I once went to counselling at university for stress and the therapist admitted she'd seen quite a few bodies from AIESEC through the clinic!!:)

Beb, in the words of Bobby Mc Ferin...
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
Keep rocking Brazil for us!
