Have you ever been happy?

I remember being asked the happiness question by one of my many therapists years ago. It was a weird question with an interesting discussion that followed, but ultimately the answer is yes. Or, that is a qualified yes since I'm not sure if everybody's "happy" is the same. Maybe that is putting too much thought into it. Today is one of the good days, actually it became gradually better as the day moved forward - there was no clear reason for it, as usual. Okay, let me stop and say I'm not trying to be a constant downer, but just making an observation for the record. Anyway, the mood is great, I can conquer the world, but now I'm afraid to go to sleep - well, not actually shaking and fearful like a character in a Freddy Krueger movie, but I'm afraid the good feelings will be gone when I wake up. Do other people have these fears? This makes me think of growing up and having the same attitude towards my father and whether he's be in a good mood (sober) or not (drunk). Oh well, time to spin the wheel and go to bed.

My dad is going to die very soon

I walked into his apartment and sat beside his bed as he lay asleep. His wife gave a nudge and his bleary eyes opened halfway. A half smile...
