Week 43 - Happiness Is...

You can fill in the blank anyway you want. But I'm taking a stroll down memory lane and presenting to you Happiness from the 70s Musical, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown. If you don't know the song, here's a link of the original Broadway cast where you can listen. I like this so much that it is my challenge for both Smart Phone and Critique Groups. If you are in both...you can use the same photo or upload different images for each. ===== I'm so happy. That little red-headed gril dropped her pencil. It has teeth marks all over it. She nibbles her pencil. She's human! It hasn't been such a bad day after all. ===== (Sung) HAPPINESS IS FINDING A PENCIL. SNOOPY: PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE LINUS: TELLING THE TIME. SCHROEDER: HAPPINESS IS LEARNING TO WHISTLE. LINUS: TYING YOUR SHOE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. SALLY: HAPPINESS IS PLAYING THE DRUM IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL BAND. CHARLIE BROWN: AND HAPPINESS IS WALKING HAND IN HAND. HAPPINESS IS TWO KINDS OF ICE CREAM. LUCY: KNOWING A SECRET. SCHROEDER: CLIMBING A TREE. CHARLIE BROWN: HAPPINESS IS FIVE DIFFERENT CRAYONS. SCHROEDER: CATCHING A FIREFLY. SETTING HIM FREE. CHARLIE BROWN: HAPPINESS IS BEING ALONE EVERY NOW AND THEN. ALL: AND HAPPINESS IS COMING HOME AGAIN. CHARLIE BROWN: HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING, DAY TIME AND NIGHT TIME TOO. FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL THAT'S LOVED BY YOU. LINUS: HAPPINESS IS HAVING A SISTER. LUCY: SHARING A SANDWICH. LUCY AND LINUS: GETTING ALONG. ALL: HAPPINESS IS SINGING TOGETHER WHEN DAY IS THROUGH, AND HAPPINESS IS THOSE WHO SING WITH YOU. HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING, DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME TOO. CHARLIE BROWN: FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL THAT'S LOVED BY YOU. (The cast filters out, waving "good night" to Charlie Brown, but Lucy stays, and and stands in silence for a moment before finally saying:) LUCY: You're a good man, Charlie Brown. - He smiles, and the lights go down -
