Happy happy, joy joy!...

A close friend once asked me, "Jeremy, what makes you happy?" And at first I responded by naming off friend's names, I talked about family and was about to keep going when she stopped me and said, "No Jeremy, I asked WHAT makes you happy, not WHO makes you happy. You can't always put all of your happiness into people. People are human. People let you down. I'm your close friend and even I am possible of letting you down." This really struck me. Never before had I realized I was basing most of my happiness on people. I began really evaluating my life right at that second and searching for an answer to give her, and the answer was so obvious. Without much hesitation, I said, "Drums and music." I had never been more certain about anything in my life before (well...besides putting my faith and trust in Jesus). After saying that, I began realizing more and more that that statement was true. Whenever I talk to someone about playing the drums, creating music, or even just talking about a band I like, I get so excited and happy. Whenever I am in a bad mood, my drums are always there for me. Whenever I'm bored and feel lonely, I can put on a cd and just rock out. Now don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of people that make me happy and ultimately my joy comes from God, but I strongly feel that we should all have something we do that we can find some happiness in. So now I'm going to ask you like my friend asked me...what makes you happy?
