Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challenge for the lovely inspiration.

Choose wisely or be forever frustrated.

Double thanks for the inspiration for my words of wisdom (haha!) to Soul Searcher’s Six Word Story Prompt of “forever” and Linda’s SoCS prompt to use a word starting with “ch.”

T’was fun!

happiness unfound
awake, we dream of the day
when dawn returns joy

Questions that occur to me as I ponder happiness:

Can happiness be “unfound”? And if it can, does that mean it’s been lost or just remains unknown?
Is ignorance really bliss?
Is happy is as happy does?
And is there really such a thing as the Bluebird of Happiness?

How do we quantify happiness? Will we know when we’ve reached peak happy?
Can we ever understand the path to happiness? Is it a result of tangible actions or just a function of brain chemistry?
- Get the mix right and smile all day! Maybe we just all need some of Mother’s Little Helpers.

I can’t really answer my own questions but thanks to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie for challenging me to think about HAPPINESS and to Sue’s Photo Challenge for leading me to the Bluebird of Happiness 🙂

Youth’s Mementos

Floating through a grass filled sky

Like the white winged dove

Today’s prompts (grass / dove/ memento) immediately launched my mind back to my wayward youth. So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes and Linda’s Just Jot January Challenge and Daisy Smile Face

And thanks to Stevie for being Stevie!
