“Happiness is a skill…”

Yesterday during our 11km-stroll, from Cole Valley to SF Marina and Golden Gate, via Presidio District, we stopped over (again!) @ Yoda Fountain, and recalled his wise words in one of the “Star Wars” episode:“Harmony, we seek. Reality, we accept. The future, we behold. Feel the Force, and go beyond.” Wish you all a better, merrier and fully SAFE 2022!

N.B. @“Happy Holidays!” – since early December, these 2 words have been visible and heard almost everywhere, BUT how can we spend happy holidays IF we are NOT happy?!… btw, “Happiness is a skill, and skills must be learned; we don’t find a happy life, we make it!.”(Matthieu Ricard – French scientist & Buddhist monk) Long story, short: Happy New Year, guys!

Merry & SAFE holidays, folks!

even though for the 7th time in San Francisco, we never get tired of strolling thru this quaint and pleasant city – sunny but chilly…🌞

“May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.”(Irish blessing)

N.B. & FYI: we’ve been allowed to enter the US, as fully vaccinated – booster included, and negative covid test 24h before our flight; all our relatives and friends, both in France and in the US have been vaccinated and are doing well.


My very best and:”May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions!”(Arnold H. Glasow)
