Soft rock ^-^

We had to take down 5 mighty oaks today. They were getting to big and with the recent tornados in our area it was time... My son in law took the wood for his fireplace and it really opened up our property to more sunshine.

Area farmers markets will be opening soon with nothing but the best produce.

 Earning money is honourable,  and by finding one thing u look forward to when u go to work you will Rock that day.

I am (if it matters at all) proud.of you for.being thankful for ur job.cause it.shows.character!

 

I agree with DD having a job usually make you feel accepted and making money always helps. I retired a few years ago because of health issues but I am looking to again enter the work force. Nothing stressful and it will have to be part time...

Voluntary work makes me happy - it has a real feelgood factor and nurtures the soul....

I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrers too. It gives me a sense of enormous well being.

Why do i find the "enormous well being" funny? A small act of kindness can bring such an enormous sense of well being....we humans are funny creatures.

Strange image, that's all I can say.  Karl Marx surrounded by pigeons.  I think I saw such a picture once (not of the man but of a statue).  I feed the fish in my reservoir every morning -- you can tell by the surface of the water that they know I'm coming -- but I would not say it makes me tremendously happy.  To be sure I would never let them go hungry, but an enormous sense of well being is odd English, or is it just me.

What makes us happy!   When our body releases the chemical serotonin e.g. after eating potatoes, chocolate....etc. etc.

No, not just you, I think it is just right and natural to take of our fellow creatures. If anything people should be looking in the opposite direction, not at the enormous well being,...that bit should come as a natural thing to do, but at the selfish side of not giving a  damn about the our fellow  creatures on our planet - that includes humans.

 

ps: dear Manfred, this is not directed to you personally,, you just happen to say something which i feel was worth debating.

I find emoticons are helpful for showing when you are not serious!

Well I see it's time for me to try to add my bit to the world's happiness -- being alive makes me happy -- its early in the morning here now and I've been up a couple hours (since daybreak) and daybreak is a wonderful time.  I spent an hour with my coffee sitting out on my deck watching the fish and the birds and the breeze in the rice fields, all by myself, but I wasn't alone -- the world was with me.

Having a good scratch makes me happy.
