“Happiness is a skill…”

Dec 29

Posted by

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!

        Tes loved ones sont des parents à toi ou tes enfants? Il me semble qu’on en avait déjà parlé. Les Canaries, jamais été. Très joli, je crois. FB, j’essayerai, mais ça fait des mois que ne n’y met pas les pieds… Chuis un peu débordé… Biz. A+!

    The photos are great. A reflection that you enjoy the walk. The phrase contains a whole wish for this new year. I also wish you the best of the best. A big hug.
