How to build happiness...

To build your happiness you will need:
- a brain
- a heart
- clear thoughts
- some beautiful living thing
+/- many other living things

Step One: forget about yourself and your needs;
Step Two: take your beautiful living thing  and love it like your life depends upon it... or its life depends upon you... love it so much that you scare yourself to think of what life would be like if your beautiful living thing was gone;
Step Three: enjoy your lovely creation - Happiness.
Step Four (advanced): love many living things even if they are not beautiful.

 

Taking steps...

We had a meeting with Michael yesterday.  It went well!  Plans are complete and tender documents are aaaaalmost done... just a few notes added to them and some finer points to be clarified before they are ready to go off to potential builders... hooray!

Speaking of hooray... Budu has started taking steps!!! (... and he was a little angel for Grammie, who looked after him for the two hour duration of the meeting)

Things are going well...
