flutter, most fun is had at someone else's expense. Oh well. ***** Bob, I enjoy the moments as they happen, but the real problem lies in my inability to recall them later when I am mired in the imperfection of whatever moment is plaguing me. Selective memory is problematic. ***** crazymumma, and the days grow shorter as the sun retreats. ***** meno, I know a few who believe what they are selling, but I don't envy them. I may not shit hummingbirds and rainbows, but the only person I am fit to be is me.

You’ve invented a very cheap cat toy. I think we are mostly selling to ourselves, looking in others for that mirror that reflects back to us what we would like to see.

the facile answer is that you learn to be happy with yourself and your circumstances. I am told happiness is a choice, and that if can make that decision then everywhere you go and everything you do is by default a good experience. The happiness gurus tell you that if you are not happy living the life you have, then change it. Life is too short to endure your unhappy circumstances. As if. I think wisdom comes from living in the moment, seeing the miracle of life all around you, and being satisfied – happy – that you are there to experience it.

I am not very good at doing that – in fact, I suck at it for the most part. But I do catch glimpses of it, and the older I get the more glimpses I get.

I wish for you the ability to see vast landscapes of it.
