My happy thought today is sitting in the sun at RFK Stadium, eating a cherry sno-cone, watching my home team kick ass and listening to my dad lose his voice cheering.

What's your happy thought? It can be an ideal thought if the day didn't go so brightly.

To help, I offer my favorite song of the moment, which was put up on [livejournal.com profile] audiography last week: Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright covering George Michael's Careless Whisper. It is lovely and cheesy and brilliant and full of sexy piano. In fact, I have a mental image of the stage being totally dark with just a spotlight on Ben playing and singing the first verse, and then the lights coming up to reveal Rufus stretched out atop the piano when he chimes in. And then my brain goes to a happy squeeful place and thought goes away, even happy thought.
Music:: 'careless whisper,' rufus wainwright and ben folds
Mood:: 'content' content

Thankee kindly for the music. it just doesn't get any better than that!

My happy thought of the day was being in the Atlantic at the beach. Mmmmm...the beach on Memorial Day. It's been years since i had the chance to do that. We swam out to a sandbar and generally acted less than half our age.

Happy thought? Everything. Take two seconds out of time to realise it, and life is glorious. My happy thought is that I can think like that, so effortlessly. And there are drifts of oak leaves outside my bedroom window, and a fire going in the lounge that I lit, and bananas drying in the dehydrator, and I'm just enough too cold to chase the cobwebs from my mind.
The song is beautiful. Hadn't heard it before, but it's one of the few I love instantly. Listening to it for the sixth time and counting.

Thanks for the song!

My happy thought - driving to work today, viewing the fine sunny morning through a freshly washed windscreen and feeling unaccountably cheerful. :)
