This is not at all new, but I’m going to say this again. Being happy or unhappy is one’s own choice.

Every decision is influenced by a number of constraints the decision maker is facing. Judging the decision while ignoring the constraints won’t be fair.
Note to self: eat more solid food and reduce the amount of drink intake — especially coffee.

It’s surprising how little it takes to be happy. Equally surprising is how inhibition or fear stop us from doing just that.

Asking the mind that wants unreasonable things to be reasonable. It’s just a matter of time before it heeds...usually.

Sleepy and confused, and maybe ill.

Tired and sleepy. Okay, no. Not tired, but sleepy.

Happy and healthy.

RTFM still remains the best advice one can follow! And I’m glad I did RTFM :)

Thinking about next morning's breakfast while eating your dinner is not staying lightweight.

A ~~world~~ day without distractions can be amazing.
