Why should happiness be brief?

Happiness should be a continuum, through Space and Time.

…a rhetorical question to myself, so no need to reply.

Trailcam footage of a couple Bambi’s in my back yard. The date and time is accurate on the cam. Notice how the Bambi sneezed and scared itself. LOL

This is pretty wild, I couldn’t believe it! I wondered what in the heck is that!

Momma and baby skunks. She’s showing them the property line. LOL

Thanks WendyDarling – that certainly warmed the cockles of my heart. It was sooooo sweet. Another word that came to me is “precious”. "That was one very tired monkey and one very trusting one too – stretching itself out to oblivion.
I would think that the cat was a female since it seemed to be so nurturing or maybe not but he or she went out of his or her way to not allow the monkey’s sleep to be interrupted. If that were my cat, Yoda, that poor cat would be finding another “bed” to sleep on.

I think I heard the cat purring unless that was a different sound I heard. God, they were so adorable. I suppose they were housemates and friends.

I wonder how much of a memory cats and monkeys have. Talking about brief happiness, I think those moments might just linger with them for quite a while even if subconsciously lol

Hello cuties. I could just hug you guys. Just out taking an afternoon stroll. It is almost like being there. I am not sure though if it was a sneeze that startled the deer and sent him off. It sounded like something else but I can’t say what. Ah, poor babies.

Just look at those ears!

I think the two little ones in this video are the two Bambi’s in the other video. They lost their spots now, and you can see tiny little “buttons” between their eyes and ears at the time 1:21 in the video. They are both “Button Bucks.” Those are tiny little antlers. :slight_smile:

This guy is on my deck now. Every year around this time I have a few Mantis hanging around for a couple weeks. They are so cool!

You don’t need to be happy all the time. We are all human. There are problems and circumstances that come to our lives, no one is happy all the time. Life is a dance between happiness and sorrow; you can either dance as a clown, with humor, or a ballerina, with grace, or a tightrope walker, with faith. Happiness is not a possession of one who is always content; the true sign of one’s happiness is to be content with what you have at every moment, no matter what you are doing. The greatest happiness comes from giving up attachment, not from the temporary pleasures of life. This is what we call the “Noble Eightfold Path.” We all have the ability to get caught up in the drama of life, and then it’s a difficult dance from present circumstances to joy and happiness.

:icon-rolleyes:

Things can be bettered… and done so with ease, but are not.

If the mind can be twisted, around to be happy even in unhapiness, then you have the problem licked.

Guess why cats chase their tails around the milk bowl?

I don’t do ‘faux’ …faux feelings are a human abomination, that humankind should never have been built on.

I resolved the problem, through thinking and then re-planning my physical efforts… which was the factor that was reducing my happy feels, so I did something about it, not pretended to be happy.

I don’t have a tail, but I do have a mighty-fine ass (sorry, I couldn’t help it :-$ ) lolz

Pics or it didn’t happen. LOL ; )
