What have all these things to do with happiness?  For me a lot: I am very reliefed. I do not need to DO anything to be happy. It´s coming and going, and I can just watch it. Now I know there is no need for cramming my stuffed and sophisticated mind with more useless ballast. I don´t take it so serious any more. My clever personality is of course very conceited to have a brilliant mind, but the watching personality is just amused by conceitedness - and simply laughes at the clever one.
Since October I can sometimes watch somebody grinning in the background of my consciousness. Often I am not in the mood for grinning, so you can´t see the grin, but nevertheless it´s there somehow. In these situations it´s like being at a higher peg of a ladder - still I am often very stressed, but different. I can´t explain it. And what I observe as well is, that I find the exit of a "drama" more quickly. I can see that a situation does not cause my pain, but just triggers it. It is a kind of a birds view - but still a bird, which flies near the ground... And maybe happiness for you is totally different. And that is okay as well.  :-) back
