What makes us really happy?

Smiling.

I am happy!

There are several myths, reasons “apparently “ that create happiness. The all important first one is money, people strive for money with the notion that money is going to bring about the ultimate happiness out of them, only to read of those that have acquired mass wealth, by winning the money or stealing the money or it being left to them or they went out and darned earned it; that they suffered quite negative impacts on this said money.

My personal view?

Well if your asking I believe it’s something a person has to look within and equally is as personal as a visit to the Doctors as too why.

Why do I say this?

Well let’s face it having an opinion is a sin in the world today, you have to be extremely careful what you are doing and saying from one country to the next. Which has caused a lot of us to shrink within and withdraw from expressing opinions; you know just in case you upset those that have the money and power to put out your light! There are two types of people in this world my friend, “Those with loaded guns and those who dig” so if you know what’s best for you , you think which one do you want to be in. Harsh reality? Ask that to street gangs on the Bronx Or the Upoer East Side where the money doesn’t pay.

Anyway what is it it your looking for today? I love to find my happiness in a simple life, gardening the saps of plants different varieties crossed with others for the fruit, the oak, the peat. I harmonise on the growth of the new and wonderous things we can actually do , without it costing money as that is something I have not mastered that’s for sure.

The money is spent and gone the ground the earth mother planet needs our help to heal the eco system right up into the cosmic arrays of life above.But must be very careful how we put across our woes as it can lead you into murky Bog bloc marshes if not careful and not as a martyr as a silly girl in a cell, be on you best pin.

Great news Greta has just been released, that is really excellent news, quite unprecedented actually but anyway She has been released from jail for having an opinion and active around and in the mine in Russia, it doesn’t take centre stage when First Lady of Ukrainian has to hold back her emotions as an aeroplane been shot down killing all and little children, innocent children, in a war they did not understand to return to the soil so early as been born. Emotional 🥹 feelings are getting quite worn.

Are others ok?

So what is the secret to your happiness?

My happiness! Well firstly as my eyes open and my first breath is to thank that bigger presence that is out there other than money. I am thankful for all I do have as apposed to all I don’t have, I am thankful for the air I breathe and then I get up and do what I can. Not what other’s think I should be doing or not doing, I become an adult and responsible for my own actions and own up to any of my mistakes and apologies for them. I become accountable not a table for others to put their drinks, food, ideas onto I become into my own. Money didn’t buy me that freedom of the mind did, knowing wrong from right did and just having scruples did.

Anyway let’s move on so what has been your ambitions this year.?

To invent something or be a part of something and I think I have found the right programme for me, it allows me to go in when I have an inspirational moment and everybody is welcome to help build the program. The Bloc Community of those that like to learn and play all in one ball pit.

Let’s learn together.

Fire spreads over flammable surfaces and can climb up wall and ceilings and over small gaps. No better way than to design a pefefect surrounding for an open fire in a new house maybe, or building of some sorts. What better than we all chip in and add our ideas and thoughts in as we go along our day it helps build character and friendship building skills that we can all use when we are out in those windy, mudy, dry and baking hills, with breezes that lift a skirt or your house roof, however we can all work together to make any discovery or improvements for Mother Earth as isn’t that what we were rebirthed.?
