    I hope that bus is planning a stop in Kansas. Thanks for sharing Tess – very upbeat and positive; just like Happiness!

    I don’t know about Kansas Alex but it’s stopping in Phoenix and I’m going!
    Dani from Positively Present said she went (below) and that sealed it. I’m going to catch the spirit;)

    Lori,
    You’re cooking? I’ll bring healthy food and Jannie Funster can bring the donuts and wine;) What a great idea! What would we call the bus?

    So glad you posted this! I went to see the Delivering Happiness bus last week and it was awesome. Highly recommend it if it comes to your area!

    Dani,
    It’s coming and I’m going. Talk about enjoying your job! Simply amazing. I wonder how he chose the employees or did they apply for their jobs?

    Oh man, this is whack! (Yeah that’s right, I said it.) (smile)
    They should team up with Levity Project. Can you imagine? That laughter / happiness party would be OFF the friggin’ HOOK!
    Love you, Tess!

    Why didn’t anyone tell me in my 20’s that I could get a job driving around the country delivering happiness? I wonder if it’s too late?? That was really fun Tess. Thank you for sharing it. :)

    Barrie,
    I thought the same thing…is it too late! I thing our audience would be different or we’d have to learn how to rap. I know where we can get the hats;)
    Talk about creating new jobs. What a hoot!

    Hi Lance! Cheers to you for your excellent, strong finish at your marathon race yesterday! I’m soo happy for you!
    (Tess, I’m loving your new threaded comments — so personal and inviting. I feel like I’m sitting by a campfire roasting marshmallows with your visitors. Now, we can sit face-to-face.)

    Jannie,
    Do you want to get on the blogging buddies bus and bring your guitar? I knew I’d find just the right person. And don’t forget the donuts and wine. We’ll have rehearsal in your tree.

    Like the Merry Pranksters… “either you are on the bus or you are off the bus…”
    A great way to sow the seeds of happiness and prosperity.

    Dear Tess,

    Well my comment just vanished!! LOL! :) But I am STILL smiling!! I love the energy of this video. It is wonderful and uninhibited. I’ve had many careers in my lifetime, and still feel my “humor” career is coming. :) I love to laugh and be goofy. And love when people are able to relax, if even for a bit, let down and forget their troubles.

    This is really good “work” they are doing. We often don’t take “serious” enough the healing power of laughter. My sweetie and I laugh every single day. It is one of many things I love about YOU, Tess. When we talked on the phone, the first thing you did was burst out laughing (me too). And I thought, “This gal is my kind of friend!!!”)

    Love you dear Tess. Thanks for sharing this joy.
    Roby ;)

    Roby,
    Yes and lets not forget how we’d decorate your bus…kind of like that restaurant…what the hey is the name of it? The one with all the animals and fish tank. How perfect would that be. I do think we’d have to wear clothes though, Roby!

    Robin Easton October 6, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    LOLOL!!! We could just find Lori’s socks and wear those!!!! Then we can do a “happy dance” in just our socks!!! ROFL!! : )

    Tess consider the happiness delivered with me! Thank you for putting a smile on my face and proving that everyone out there wants to be happy. We have chased money, assets, celebrity and status for decades now yet we are still not happier. Old fashioned values need a come back and taking happiness to the streets is a great way to start. Plus sharing it like you have! I now wearing a big grin and have a warm glowiing feeling inside.

    The happiness bus is coming to Austin soon. I can’t wait. It should be a blast.

    Tony’s book is very good. I love how he breaks down his life and how he and Zappos came to be.
