They say
no news is good news, and that’s often
true. I usually don’t hear from our kids while they’re at school, but one of
them called home one afternoon. Imagine my surprise when a calm voice said,
“Hi. My school is on fire.” After some explanation, I discovered that everyone had
been safely evacuated, and in fact, the school wasn’t on fire. The smoke originated
from something near the school. Crisis averted. Life returned to normal as the students
marched back inside.
It’s a good
I could receive that call. Accessibility for emergencies is good, but non-stop
accessibility is not. We’re constantly connecting to people and digesting news
feeds through our electronics. Regularly disconnecting from it all allows us to
find our happy place. Maybe yours looks like this:
It’s hard
to tell who enjoyed the situation more—the shoveler or the spectator. If you’ve
found a different kind of happy place, how do you get there?

Life has taught me that happiness comes from within and due to personal circumstances I began letting go of a lot of things outside of myself. I slowly decluttered my home, my life, and then my inner-self. It's a very sedate happiness, but it's a warm, comforting happiness. :)
I would, of course, enjoy watching a T-Rex shovel. How do they manage with those tiny appendages?
