A says:
Can you tell me a story about when you were really happy one day? Was there a time that you felt really happy?
B says:
Well, I make myself feel happy. Happier.
A says:
Mm hmm.
B says:
But they never talk very much.
A says:
What are some things that make you feel happy?
B says:
When you have visitors? Yeah, yeah, visitors. But I know people have got a lot of things to write about. And I must be happy to live in a corner. There's nowhere to go in a corner. No.
A says:
What's something else that makes you happy? So visitors and what other things might make you feel happy?
B says:
Yes. I've got to be satisfied to be where I am. I've got. I don't have people to talk to or anything.
A says:
What about when you were younger? What was something that made you feel happy when you were younger?
B says:
Oh, yes. Then I was grateful. For what, whatever outing I had. I was be content to be, you know, to be happy. Happy to walk around. Then it didn't worry me. And there was always a nice round place to walk to. But that house was nice there. When she was over, she always used to say, you could come in and just walk in.
A says:
Oh, that's very nice. Yeah.
B says:
But here I didn't. I couldn't walk around the place. But the kids are now getting a little bit older, and they hike to go into their own houses, you know, so I must know I'll be happy. I'll be there. And I'd be happy when nobody's complaining about me walking too much.
