“I was with  5 other people that were doing the same thing at an workshop.”

I am happy when…

“I am happy when I draw a tree, I look at the stars with a friend-bat in the park near my house. I am happy when I exchange great ideas with others, such as my friends in LEAP, and when I’m in love. I feel happy whenever I teach and whenever I eat cake. I love writing poems and I really really like my cat and Raj.”

Butterflies Inside

“So here is my drawing, I made it at my desk at work, after having told half the floor about your project. It is the third try, I first tried to draw my dog, then filled a whole page with drawings of all the things that make me happy, but then came a song that gave me instant butterflies. I must be in love. So there.”

Teto, the Smile Generator

“One of the things that make me happy and I can really put together in a drawing, is my very cute, obese guinea pig, Teto. His huge pink ears and the noise he does each time I enter the room are priceless and always make me smile. My pets are generally ‘smile generators’ and make my day!”
