Happiness feeds the soul. It tickles your senses and makes things better. While challenges will always arise, how we frame those challenges will determine the energy they create.

Captain Happy is the nickname of my highest self. Born after I became a burner, it is my favorite state of mind. When I introduce myself as Captain Happy, people smile, which is exactly what Captain Happy would want. More people smiling.

Helping people smile, sharing a laugh and just offering a perspective that may lighten a load for a day or even longer. I have been blessed by many mentors who inspire me to hone my sense of humor. From my wife, Frank, to my daughter's Jazzie and Savvy to friends and family.

For decades, I have studied happiness and laughter. This blog is dedicated to sharing what I have learned and what others share to increase happiness in their lives. Enjoy.
