HappyUP!!! - finding stuff

Why It Happened -I am good at that

Why It Makes Me Happy - why did I lose these things? Because I was "out of process." Weird things happened that were not normal and out of my control. The nice thing?

HappyUP!!! Day 5456

 HappyUP!!! -The Kaseberg

Why It Happened -it's a tradition
