Happy....

An automatic alarm
Turns my radio on
Before my even hit the floor
The music's got me ready to go
And all through the whole day
I know my favourite records they'll play
It helps me chase all my blues away
When I can hear that DJ say that this is station...

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes,
shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're
here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me,
no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
they're here to stay

You two singing good night songs to each other?

How positively adorable.

Humans never used to live as long as they do now. How much happiness do all the additional years give rise to?

I'm not dead! I'm getting better! I don't want to go in the cart! I feel fine! I think I'll go for a walk. I feel happy... I feel happy. [whop]

My mum retired at 60. She's 73 in April. She's very lucky in health and she's been enjoying, and will continue to enjoy, a retirement of holidays, grandchildren, gardening and book writing.
So for some, living longer is a lot of happiness!
Of course the retirement age has gone up since then, so generations after my mum's won't get to enjoy thier 60s like that.
My Granny (mums mum) retired 60 too, but her health was already failing and her last year's weren't so fortunate.
I don't believe it's so much the extra years as lifelong attitude that equals happiness. Those extra years can be miserable for some especially if they're focused on thier pain or loanliness, I think.
