Happy

It is amazing what a good day (or night) at work and a few compliments can do for you! After my good night shift last night and praise from the building manager when he came in this morning, and a good sleep, I got up at about 14:00 and have been in a great mood ever since.
This was helped by the fact that I received a letter today, yes by snail mail, from my good friend in Australia, Dean Arcuri (I knew him before he was famous), inviting me to his 30th birthday bash on the 2nd May. Even though he knows I cannot make it he took the time to invite me showing that the thought was there. He also enclosed a couple of photos, one of us together (me looking pissed as usual) and the other of him in a Robin (Batman and...) costume! Funny. I miss him a lot and I wish I could go to his party, especially as it is fancy dress, but I can't so I will endeavour to have a drink for him on the day instead (luckily it is on my payday!).

I've also been listening to the music on my blog (hint hint) and have been singing along and dancing around like a true queen!
I was just listening to one of the most uplifting songs I know, Affirmation, by Savage Garden and although it is a really happy upbeat song, that makes me feel good, conversely it also brings a tear to my eyes. I believe in most of the statements in the song, or at least wish I did.

"Affirmation"

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument

I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands

I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you

I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do

I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem

I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality

I believe that trust is more important than monogamy

I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul

I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair

I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness

I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed

I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists

I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Another song that makes me feel good, though not in the same league as Affirmation, is Keep on Moving by Five (5ive), though I probably like this song initially as I had a "thing" for band member Jason "J" Brown.
