Happiness in Nothingness?

This is perhaps the most comfortable day I have had in nearly two months. I did not think about anything valuable or meaningful. I layed like a lump on the couch for a few hours after breakfast. I mowed the lawn, ate, and cleaned out my vehicle. All the while, I purposefully did not try to think, nor did I try to stimulate myself with music, television dramas, etc. I did listen vaguely to the news on CNN, MSNBC, and NPR, but not with the usual rapt attention I devote to most matters. I cannot actually recall any particular detail I heard about.

Perhaps that is the key to happiness? Have no expectations, do not pay attention, do not have plans. Just float along.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
