erika accused me of not blogging enough.

Name: erika
i think accused is a little strong
we talked about happiness in church one day...pastor defined happiness as the temporary stuff and joy as the permanent one (you know, i've got that joy joy joy joy down in my heart). he referred to happiness as the thermometer which reflects the temporary good stuff in your life and the thermostat which allows you to be happy in sucky circumstances. i just thought i'd throw that in.
about how to reach it...i find it hard to tell whether i'm happy or not because i don't know how other ppl feel it and whether mine is happier or less happy. and yes, i think the whole super euphoria thing has led a lot of people to believe that it's something so fantastic that they can't ever reach it and that might prevent them from realizing that they're actually happy
