Welcome to Happy Snowflake Dance!

It's my experiment in joyful, marrow-sucking living.
Inspired by George Santayana's poem,
There May Be Chaos Still Around the World

" They threat in vain; the whirlwind cannot awe
A happy snow-flake dancing in the flaw. "


My Mission: a daily journey into Openness.

I hope you'll come along!

Willy Wonka Wisdom

I love this line from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (with Gene Wilder): "There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination..." It's from the theme song (Pure Imagination).

In my pursuit of happiness, I'm revisiting some of my favorite old movies and TV shows. I almost peed my pants last night, laughing at re-runs of Frazier. Happy people can find laughter in everything.

Take my friend, for example. Everytime she disagrees with her mother, her mother accuses her of being a communist. Now some might take offense, but my friend laughs it off, saying that if her mother were in a sitcom, she could be a comedic character, like the character of Marie in Everybody Loves Raymond.
