Today I saw a lot of things that made me happy.

Today one of my classmates went to the zoo and I went with.  I had this big internal debate before we went about how I should be spending my time and then I got there and then a gorilla walked out and I was completely happy.  The gorilla was beautiful and huge and gorgeous and completely fascinating to watch.  There was actually a family of them.  There was a little baby gorilla and a really big huger older one.  One of the zoo staff gave them all these long black tubes that were stuffed with food while we were there and we got to watch them all work to figure out how to get the food out of the tubes.  It was lovely.

Being at the zoo makes me happy because it makes me feel better about people and animals.  It is good to see people taking good care of animals and it is good to be reminded of how incredible nature is.

It also makes me REALLY happy to remember every day that I am free and safe and that I can choose to do things each day that will bring more beauty into my life.

This morning another friend said something about the drawings of Merce Cunningham.  I didn't know he drew.  Here is one of his drawings and if you google "Merce Cunningham drawings" you can see more of them.  :-)

Dear Happiness: I can see you now and I am looking for you each and every day.  Love, Jenny Sawle
