I second that about coffee. It has a way of filling really empty spaces. Happiness for me is relevant. I read the news and learn about people with really BIG problems - or have really horrid lives, like in Afghanistan, Nigeria, or some other horrible place. In the recent news is some dude that lost EVERYthing - his wife, his kids, his job, his name is 4 inch print in the local newspaper - blasting the crime he committed - and is going to prison for 35 years. And I am unhappy? Not on your life - I'll celebrate my freedom & independence by a trip to a coffee place & have a frappuccino & be glad it isn't me on the front headlines.
