Happy Knitting Land

That's how someone found my blog.  Well, actually they Googled "knit forever in happy knitting land" and found my blog. I cannot tell you how much this amuses me. I cannot tell you how much it pleases me that the Knit Once blog was the first blog returned by that search.  Too funny.

And not necessarily true.

The knitting has definitely been happy here at Knit Once this week. I've managed to finish two projects this week (updates and photos coming soon). It's the happy in parts other than knitting land that I'm caught up on.

I've watched The Pursuit of Happyness several times lately. We have it via Netflix and I haven't wanted to return it. The message in certain movies speaks to me for whatever reason and this is definitely one of those thought provoking movies for me.

I think I confuse being busy with being happy sometimes. I've been very happy for the last six months or so as I've been extremely busy between work projects, home projects, and graduation induced projects. I think I'm happy when I'm busy. Now that all the dust has settled with the completion of the aforementioned projects, I wonder if I'm really all that happy or if I'm just too busy to notice that I'm not really happy at all.  Because really, this being happy thing is kind hard to pin down. What makes one person happy may not do it for someone else.

Just what does happy mean? Is there really a happy knitting land?

These are just some of the questions I ponder, but I should mention that a lot of this pondering is probably brought about by the fact that the boys are out of state with The Ex for part of the summer. I always get a little blue when they first leave. Usually I get past it by getting busy with other things that serve as a distraction to my missing them, which brings me back to the question at hand: does being busy equal being happy? Is it the same thing? Is it?  And is there a happy knitting land?

If so, I definitely want to go there.

I can't quite imagine somebody googling "knit forever in happy knitting land". Though if there is such a place, I'm booking a vacation now. We could probably get a busload together.
