What pleases CamMad?

Those of you who know me know that I'm not very philosophical but today I feel the need to spew in a way that So-crates did a long time ago. (notice I got a Wayne's World and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure reference in) I asked Child1 what should I write about and I was told to write about Fruit RollUps. At first I was thinking that would be silly but the more I thought about it I would really be writing about the simple things that makes us happy. It could be special time with a loved one, petting your cat(s) (that's for you Sheepish), playing with the UPS box and ignoring what's inside, or getting a box of Fruit Rollups. Usually if we think that something material makes us happy it is really a feeling of satisfaction. What really makes up happy is knowing that people care about us, that we feel wanted, and that our basic needs are met. On this day that we celebrate the birth of a great man who life's was in support of everyone's civil rights I'm drawn to the idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Happy MLK Day everyone.

The following are the lyrics to MLK by U2
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down him
So let it be
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him
