Happiness Comes from Within You<\/h4>\n

But give me to a rambling man<\/em><\/p>\n

Let it always be known that I was who I am<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 Laura Marling from the song Rambling Man<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I might not know the secret to happiness<\/a> <\/strong>for everyone\u00a0or how to be happy all the time<\/a><\/strong>, but I do know what makes me happy at this moment. So if you ever find yourself in Los Angeles, and there is some woman walking and singing with her music on her iPod, it’s probably me. I love to sing. It lifts my spirits and calms me down. What’s more, when I’m happy, people around me are happy.<\/p>\n

I ride a train and bus to and from work every day. One day, I was waiting for the bus and a really great song came on (Rambling Man<\/em> by Laura Marling). I listened to that song over and over walking from the office to the bus stop. While sitting at the bus stop, my feet were taping to the beat, my head bopped up and down and I lifted my face to soak in the sunshine. It felt so good. The music flowing loudly into my ears filled me, and I felt at peace with everything. At one point, I glanced around suddenly self-conscious. The lady sitting next to me on the bench was also tapping her foot.\u00a0On the train, I continued to listen to that song and continued to bop along with it. Sure enough, when I looked around more people were bopping along to some imaginary music or beat. It felt like we were all connected.<\/p>\n
