Changes…
In synoptical sense …as in the weather…changed suddenly from the unusual heated wave of the last days to the more usual soggy downpour of British Summer. Time to change the sticky clothes soaked in sweat from humidity of the air to the more traditional summery gear – time to put on jackets, cover belly buttons and return the brolly where it belongs, into the handbag. Things should be back to normal now. Yet the mind is still sluggish lingering on the edge of “not there already, not here yet”…and within “leave me alone” frame…I’m plain lazy and, apparently, loving it…why would anyone ever want to change, I wonder?..Being occupied with so many things these last days, I’ve finally lost the sense of purpose…it is rain outside my window and it is vagueness inside my mind…Idling is truly fun especially when you’ve got a lot to do…
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
~Robert Anthony~
Interesting is the way we balance between the states of happiness and depression. It seems that a human being unable to stay permanently in one state. When we depressed… we wish we weren’t, we seek help, way out of it …but when we are happy…we also seems never believe that happiness could be forever, as if we do not deserve her to last…and surprise-surprise – the more we occupy our mind with the possibilities of what could go wrong with our happiness, the more the reality responses to mind’s perception and suddenly we find ourselves in unhappy situation, which we might’ve as well brought up ourselves…baaaah…think less of that your happiness might end soon and you’ll be amazed how many disappointments could be happily avoided just by ignoring their possibility.

I'm not sure about happiness either.
To tell you the truth, I don't think we have a good idea what that word means.
Giddy?
Laughing all the time?
Skipping down the grocery aisle?
I don't know.
But content. Content I can get my mind around.
Satisfied.
Calm.
Balanced.
Yes. I think I'm shooting for content.
