I had an opportunity to visit with my high school classmates at a reunion, that I graduated with so many years ago almost too many to count. I now live on the East Coast and my hometown is squarely in the Midwest part of the United States. It is safe to say about my high school classmates that I have not been in close contact with most of my graduating class in many years.

On my journey to reconnect with my high school classmates in my hometown I was invited along with other classmates to a cocktail party at the Class President’s Home, to say that this home was grand is the understatement of this whole trip. The home had been recently renovated and everything was beautiful and well designed. After a short while of networking and reconnecting with old classmates I was offered a tour of this grand palace of a home. The tour after seeing the palace room by room I determined that their clothes must never produce lint in the dryer, or their trashcan is never overflowing like mine at my house.

I hope my short story of my high school reunion and cocktail party and the grand palace of the Class President is worth reading and maybe others can relate to a time where we all seem to be in over our heads. As I have stated in this post that I am an ordinary guy with lint in my dryer and my house is not a showplace but a modest home with good curb appeal.

My question in this blog is one that I want to explore is how do regular people find happiness?

Good news you don’t need to own a showplace or a palace size home to find happiness, possessions have no long-term effect on happiness!

Please join me daily to see what I have found on the topic of happiness, this is an area that is not devoted to the extraordinary, but the ordinary regular people that make the world a better place to live.

See you tomorrow!!!
