Happiness is....

Happiness to me is piece of mind. It's what my senses take in from living in a clean house. It's having an organized desk. A well executed day beginning with a nice cup of semi-strong coffee followed by a zenful morning walk on one of the most serene beaches on earth, Ellwood.  It's realizing a dog's only desire is to love and be loved. It's being in good company and appreciating how lucky we are to eat great food. It's laughing until your tummy aches and tears roll down the sides of your face. It's seeing someone you care for be good to themselves.  It's being good to yourself too. 

Zen for Cats?

I've been noticing a strange pattern over the past few months. Neighborhood cats seem to be drawn to our backyard for some odd reason. The interesting part is that they don't act like regular cats. Not only that, but when they notice me and look at me, it's like they are a really person behind those kitty cat eyes.
