Where do you get your happiness?
I grew up watching all the must-watch cartoons for any well-raised child of the 1980s – Japanese robot anime, Disney classics, and perhaps one of the most underrated animated films of all time, the Peanuts adaptations.
I must admit it was disconcerting hearing Snoopy’s voice (didn’t he always communicate through thought bubbles?), but it helped make the characters more real, more visceral for me.
Here’s a short clip from “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.”
It tells us that happiness is not in the glitz and glory; it’s in the little details that we almost miss, the happy accidents that paint the delightlfully sloppy mish-mash of experiences that make up day-to-day life.
Be happy, and find peace.
