This summer, it’s heavy, it seems. Nature is inconvenient! The news amaze us with heat and rain that reshape the statistics. It’s “hot”! Not necessarily according to the established expression. It passes and will pass. I then choose to look where there is happiness. Cliche! Why not ?
Look at the children and stop! Listen to their jerky, frank laughter. Just to see them eat a runny cone is refreshing. Two teenagers walk hand in hand and kiss each other, it’s beautiful. A mother proudly drags her ti-loup straight up in a cart, it’s touching. A grandma looks at photos of her daughter and her family having fun on a trip. The magic happens! A man returns from the hospital with his wife who is better. Hope ! You wake up and you feel good.
Finally ! Listen to the sound of the wind, dance in the rain, talk with a friend, have a little wine in good company, cuddle your grandparents, congratulate your neighbor, receive a funny text message, treat yourself to a treat, love!
I don’t laugh with happiness, I try to give it a free path to astonish, to cross the line of the possible, to travel in business class in our eyes, to taste the sweet flavors of imaginary berries and more…
In fact, opening your arms wide to welcome the beautiful and the good has the power to fill the hollow spaces of darkened days. Make a stop to pick up the bits of happiness!
And yet, I am not naive. Sometimes you have to take out your magnifying glass to find these strands. This is then a good reason to take advantage of it when we have clear eyes to capture this happiness that presents itself to us. Good weather, bad weather, let’s take what we can of this happiness!
