And often nothing to incite a laugh.  How can I express that sometimes happiness can so consume me that the only way to express it is for bubbling laughter to issue forth.  And as my wont is, to share that with others.  Perhaps I&#8217;m silly, and perhaps I&#8217;m insane, as is the description my friends often call me, jokingly of course.  But to cause happiness is a happiness.  I&#8217;m no commedian, not by a long shot.  But my seemingly randomness at least keeps others on their toes and hopefully, away from their woes.  Perhaps people will never understand why I do certain things, but as long as the purpose is fulfilled, then there is no point to explain.  It cheapens the purpose and hurts its mission.  But whoever I am and whatever I will eventually do, I have at least one mission that has no concievable end.  That is to spread happiness.  For life is for the Living.  And happiness and being alive are companions.  Our lives would be incomplete without them, and there is such a lack of happiness in this world.  But happiness is how you percieve it.  And the only thing I can easily say, is look for the little things.  They quickly bring a smile to your lips, and they surround you everywhere.  In everything.  And are the key to something many have lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m the quiet fiend&#8230;.
