"Happiness is not in having what you want. But happiness is in wanting what you have." H.H. Sant Rajinder Singh
View from mom's meditation and art chair. Beauty without, beauty within, and happiness when she meditates. She often puts one of us on her lap before and after meditation and we feel quiet and peaceful, too, without knowing exactly why.
Mom used to be an avid outdoors person, wildlife photographer, and athlete. Now she is disabled and learning more about happiness than she ever did before. She says living with us helps because it takes so little to make us happy: a new cardboard box to chew on or hide under, a leaf of lettuce, lap time...she wants us to teach her how simple joy can be. And sometimes she calls us her furry little Buddhas. We don't know what that means, but we are happy here! And the view is delicious in Spring!
