Happiness as a choice.

Sometimes, 'fulfillment' and 'happiness' have much more to do with our internal place than external place.

While driving to Park City yesterday for a show, I was driving off I-80. Now for me, this road bears bizarre but significant symbolism in my own life. This road connects the midwest, where my dear friends and parents are, to Utah, and where I am right now. When I lived in Idaho I would take I-80 to get back and forth from Illinois the few times I made this long drive. It's like a gateway that connects the two spots my life has been based. These longs drives have always been filled with nostalgia and feeling. I turned my signal, though I immediately realized I was heading east on I-80. I did not want to get off. After nearly 8 months of longing to be here, I suddenly want to be there. We often think happiness is a milestone that will be achived after something comes about, but its obvious to me, that its much more than that. Sometimes, its much more than that
