How can I be happy, when
- I have to stay out of work today because I’m running a fever,
- I need to get tested for endocarditis whenever I run a fever,
- happiness is so elusive,
- my definition of happiness keeps changing,
- it’s difficult to be happy when you’re feeling sick, and
- I’ll be away from the whiteboard in my office for four full days, because it’s July 4th weekend?

How can I be happy if I don’t share the other photos I took yesterday?

Happy-enough thanks to all who helped me create this How-Can-I-Be-Happy post and to you — of course! — because I’m happy when you’re here.
