My Happy Place

Where's my happy place?  Why, anywhere!

Friends, I get upset, just like everybody else does.  Sometimes, it's because I'm hungry.  Sometimes, I'm just tired and have had enough.  Other times, I get upset because I'm bored and I want to go do something else.

It doesn't matter why I get upset.  What's important is that you know I do.  I mean, I'm a person after all.  I'm a little person, but I'm still a person, and I get moody sometimes.  And that's okay!

When I get upset, I go to my Happy Place.  Where's my Happy Place?  Well, it's anywhere I want it to be.  I just close my eyes, and think about something that makes me happy, and all of a sudden, I'm there, at my Happy Place. 

This is my favorite picture of me and Rozzie!

A lot of times, I think about Rozzie.  Rozzie is my best friend in the whole wide world, and she has been for my whole life!  Every time I see her, she just puts a smile on my face, even when I'm trying really hard to be upset.  If you don't know Rozzie, you're missing out. Plus, Rozzie is really special, because she has every reason to be a grumpalumpagus, but she never is.  She's always really happy.  She gets so excited whenever we go for rides in the Jeep, and she gets really excited when she gets her Greenies.  It's hard not to be just as happy as she is, seeing Rozzie so happy!  When she comes into my room, first thing in the morning, she says to me 'We got another one, Kid!' and it's true!  We got another day!  That right there is enough to make me smile! 

Never underestimate the power of silliness for making you happy!

Sometimes, the way to get to my Happy Place is just by being silly.  I love to be silly.  You should try being silly, Big People, when you're having just a bad day.  Don't underestimate the power of being silliness!  My favorite thing is to stick out my tongue and just laugh and laugh.  Instant mood-lifter!  I thing that when I can stand on one foot and hop and sing Yankee Doodle, I think that's going to be a big mood-lifter.  That's one you could do, Big People!  Try it!  Next time your having a bad day, act silly.  You'll be surprised, but I won't, by how happy it makes you, and how fast it works!

That's what I do, Friends, to make me go to my Happy Place.  I just decide that my Happy Place is going to be wherever I am.  And I want all my friends to be happy, too.  Take a page out of your friend Zoe's book and make your Happy Place be anywhere you are!  And remember: Zoe loves you!  Muah!
