Not one of those people who usually post these kinds of things.  Just felt a wild hair somewhere, and wanted to tonight for some reason.  A good friend of mine told me that I was "the most driven person he knows."  It got me to thinking. I know so many people, especially in Nashville, who are more driven than I am.  But all of that discussion obscures the real question of life. Or, "the real stuff of life" as Jimmy Durante says when singing "Make Someone Happy."  What is it that makes me happy. 

There are lots of things that make me happy, but I'm guessing what makes me happiest is writing.  I haven't experienced the whole "getting a cut" thing in Nashville, so that may trump a lot of things. But, even on the bad days, writing a song is a good thing.  I hope I never lose the ability to do this, because it's what makes me tick.  If that makes me driven, than I guess I am.  I guess I'd be more driven if I was successful at selling some of these songs.  But whatever.  It makes me happy, so I'm going after it.  Anyway, I k now I'm preaching to the converted so I won't say more.
