Optimistic thought of the day

Take any excuse you can to find at least a little happiness.

For example, I am not a sports fan (at all!) but I am really glad the Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro (I am happy because it is the second Latin American country, and the first South American country to host the Olympics, ever). I think I would've been equally happy with Madrid (I ♥ Spain and our honey moon was in Madrid, precisely) or with Chicago (I wanted Obama to have won at least a fight! I mean, c'mon!) (No emotional ties to Tokyo, really, but I'm sure I would've found some happiness... birth place of Hello Kitty, I guess?)

But anyway. I've been playing Brazilian music (Lambada and Xi Bom Bom, to be more accurate) and I got to thinking that in 2016 I would love to go to Rio! But then I did the math, and by 2016, (God willing) we will have a kid. HOLY COW. We will have a kid! We're planning having children between 2013 and 2015... AHHHH! A KID!

It seems happiness fosters happiness. So yay! :)

And? That last part brought me a little bit of happiness because it gives me something to look forward to. Yay...hahaha. Plus I really think that traveling to a country during the olympics is not a good way to see and experience the culture. It would be too chaotic and crowded to fully enjoy.
