This is a great post. I have to think more about this, but being a lot like what you have described, my first reaction is to say our joys are different than hers at this point in our lives and we show them differently. But also, I do have to make a point to be joyful and thankful for my life (God will give us that if we ask for it!!) or I will find myself just focusing on the tasks and the struggles. Love you, and you make me smile, I love to spend time with you.

My sisters aren't 19, they are 29, but they say the same thing to me all the time. However, I should point out that they are single, sexy and free . . making their own money and have no real life stresses other than what they should eat for dinner and with whom!!! I agree with the posts above, I have been told that I looked pissed when I am driving when I think that I look super hot and sexy . . go figure:) Okay so this is exactly why I love this blog . . you speak directly to me!

This post struck a cord with me too. Having a 19 yr.old sis as well, similiar comments have come out of her mouth like that to me and I ponder, like a good Big sis would. Really? Me? But I think Danaly said it right when she wrote about the burdens and concerns of someone such as our younger sis's verses our's are so different, why wouldn't our Joy/Happiness been shown just as differently? However, as a young girl I would always study my mom's exspressions alot. And to be honest, she frowned alot. But I do not remmeber her that way now as an adult. Funny huh? I was so concerned for her while I was young and why she looked to me to be unhappy when now all I can remmeber is my mama was doing what brought her the most joy. Being a mom. Yes, it was problay tough most days but I believe my memory serves me well now and more accuratly.... So while it was your sis's sweet inncocent q's now that made you think, I wonder how different her interpretaion of your 'Happiness' will be 10 years from now? Good stuff.... gotta lov those lil sis's though... lov Zo Hiya stranger! This post struck a cord with me too.

Here's the thing, HAPPY doesn't look the same on every person. Don't go thinking you are unhappy just 'cause you and your sis have different ways of showing your happiness. Like you, I'm task oriented... I always have a focused look on my face. My face defaults to serious not to smiley when I'm chilllin'. It's just a personality difference, ya know? I also think comparing oneself to a teenager/young adult is useless 'cause younger people don't have the same burdens... family, children, etc. Completely different kind of happiness when Me, Myself and I are the only people I need to think and worry about. Just my 2 cents. Sweet of your sis to care so much for you though.... Sister, I could write about this very same subject FOREVER ’cause it was on my mind a few years back.
