Like the cloud my life has been, luckily some 50 years I happy have along floated the sky in. Mayhaps that deodorant happy found me as I by floated happy shapes making for to delight the ones young and at heart. Off the Yoda Juice I should be but the confusion of looks fun can be.

Drifting, nice it is. Yoda juice, not as nice, it is.

Haha! Such funny pieces. And you know what, we could all use some Happy deodorant in our lives. I’ll be really excited when they come out with Happy foot powder. 😄

Happy feet! There would be a lot of happy dancing going on. Can our overly grumpy and easily offended culture abide such rambunctious behavior? 🤣 I say it's about time! Come on, Happy Inc. Give us the foot powder!

I’m suddenly aware of how annoying yoda would be at a dinner party. Can’t take him anywhere 😆

Truth, you speak. Annoying, his speech gets. But levitating things would be cool. 🤣

I looked at the photo for "A Happy Discovery" again after I read the story and OMG the match is perfect!

And the poem made me smile. Mostly because when I was taking German my brain would go occasionally into "German mode" for some reason (object verb sentence order) and my sister would accuse me of talking like Yoda.

I wrote the Happy Deodorant story based on the photo. It's much easier than finding a photo to fit the story. 🤣

I think Yoda was part German. 🤣

Deodorant, I have not. Happy, my wife is not.

Hilarious, you are.

I'm generally a positive-attitude, happy go lucky 78 year old whipper-snapper, so I loved this story. Please let me know, in addition, where in the world, can I buy some Happy deodorant for a change. I also love all kinds of music as well as Flash Fiction like these, so if you can find me a complimentary mate I would indeed appreciate it. Thank you, Mark. Keep up these great, inspiring, writings coming!

Sadly, Sarah is keeping the location of that gas station a secret.
