being happy means….making the best of every situation.

example; you are stuck in a really long line and it could either suck or you could just use the extra time to do something else — like pick your nose.

Ok Mr. Fancy Pants, give us your beloved philosophy answer and put all of that money spent on good IL philosophy to use.

hmm . . . this accepting the things you cannot change is pretty stoic (http://www.iep.utm.edu/s/stoicism.htm)

…choosing to be happy.

Oh, and Thomas, I’ve been at freaking camp for a month, so that’s why I haven’t been available. As far as Breakaway things in Georgia, man, I don’t know what there is or if there is such a thing there. But God is doing stuff everywhere, I’m sure there are plenty of places to get plugged in and plug stuff in for them. :)

I thought of this this morning, but didn’t have time to post until now… Not a final answer by any means, just a stab at it.

Being happy means accepting the things you can’t change.

Being happy means you see everything, good or bad, as perfectly fitting.
