One of my good friends is moving west on Friday and we celebrated tonight. I'm looking forward to being two hours away from her and another friend as of July.

Yesterday I saw a person in a common area on campus sitting alone watching Parks and Rec. I was reading Blue Highways (thanks flagamuffin), and a thought crossed my mind. I had the sudden desire to ask her (complete stranger) of if, in this moment, she was happy. I've been thinking a lot lately about happiness and what it means to be happy and don't have a good answer. Maybe one day I will.

I didn't ask her if she was happy.
