Recently at work, a book was passed around. The pigeon wants a puppy, by Mo Willems.Is this a children's book, you might ask?
Well... yes, it is being marketted that way. However, this innocent looking book is much, much more!
Pigeon wants a puppy is an interesting social commentary on our times.
You see, Pigeon, the main character, can seem to only find happiness in material things. In this case, a puppy.
Pigeon needs validation. His life and emotional stability revolves around gaining a puppy who he will love. more importantly, who will love him.
Sad? Yes.
But how many times have you heard someone say that they need something, or they will just die. Do they??? No. Disappointed when they do not keep that promise? Yes!
But, I digress.
Think about what can make you really happy, people! Not puppies. Not jewelry. Not someone else. Only you can make you happy! YOU!
And would you like to know the secret of how you can make yourself happy?
Go to the library and check a book out on it!
Or, donate money or books to the library... a selfless act like that will make you happy. Really. It is not because we are on a tight budget, and I want to keep my job. No! This is about YOU. Your happiness. And your happiness depends on libraries, and happy librarians.
Really.
Would I lie to you?

You. Are. My. Hero.
No, stuff can't make anyone happy and I think the evidence lies in the fact that there are so many people that are really, truly, happy that have middlin' maybe even not-much-but-a-roof-over-my-head lives. How do they do it? They decide to be happy and then focus on what they have and not on what they don't.
