Because I'm Happy

Clap along my friends!  Pharrell William's song Happy is incredible.  For some time now I've been noticing happy songs on my 30 minute commute to work and occasionally am blessed with the treat of hearing at least part of this song on one of our local stations.  This song, listened to in the morning, is guaranteed to super charge your happiness for the day.

This morning is an exceptionally special day because I got to listen to Happy in its entirety twice on my drive and I was more than amped by the time I got to work.  So much in fact I was on the verge of bursting.  I searched the net to find it and in doing so I stumbled upon 24hoursofhappiness.com.  Not only is the idea behind this site innovative, but the fact that people from all around the world can submit videos of them dancing to Pharrell's song is so creative.  I love seeing people feeling it and grooving to it from all walks of life.  It helps me feel our interconnectedness.  It confirms for me that we all want happiness, and even if just for 4:06 minutes Pharrell helps us feel it and realize it.

The song plays constantly on 24hoursofhappiness.com.  Pharrell and the United Nations Foundation came up with this to help promote the 2nd International Day of Happiness On March 20th.

Right now, as I type this I'm still listening.  It is so hard to sit in my seat even after an hour and a half of near constant listening.  I just want to get up and break it down!  I wonder what  my co-workers would think if I just busted some moves right here at my desk.

Give it a listen, or two.  You're welcome!
