Happiness. It's relative.
Posted on January 13, 2016 by Jan Wilberg
Be very quiet, kiddo. Don’t make a sound. Look right here, under this bush. One of them is playing a wee fiddle and the rest are dancing. See their little shoes? They’re gold, kiddo. Pure gold. Aren’t we lucky to see them?

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.

And one last shorty…..about shorties.
Loved this, glad it took first!
Thanks, Joe
I’m somehow reminded of the trolls my great aunt showed me under the footbridge.
What a wonderful wee party!
This made me smile, and not because I just finished reading your essay. One of my favorite memories living in Ireland was walking into my first ceilidh unawares. I’m sure that is exactly how leprechauns party.
And when they fall asleep pilfering the shoes?
We are lucky!
