Happiness

The Sensation of Wealth

I remember when I was about 20 years old. If I could ever own a brand new car, that would be the BEST! My bucket of bolts was 15 years old and ran on bald tires. But that was my dream. Later in life it was not just a new car that I wanted. It was a new car that was my choice in cars. In that case it was a Honda CR-V. A basic car that met my needs comfortably. Later on I set my sites on a nice Acura or Lexus. I still haven't bought that car, but the Acura MDX certainly calls out to me as the perfect car for me.

Why do you want to be rich?

Why do you want to be rich? That's a great question. And your answer probably includes a lot of the payoffs associated with the luxurious lifestyles of the rich and famous. Nice cars. Travel. Sexy people. Fame. Envy. A feeling of having succeeded. These things are pretty awesome. So why do you want to be rich? What is better about being rich rather than being poor? Take a moment and answer that question for yourself.

Happiness - According to my cats!

I have this friend who is always angry. I don't know why. She just sees everything in life as an obstacle. My guess is that she is unhappy with herself and this is her way of making it someone else's fault. After all, that is the American way ... everything is someone else's fault, right? But that's another discussion.

Anyway, I was thinking about this and noticed a similar behavior in my cats. I have three cats, all with different personalities. One cat, Snowy, has nothing to do with this story. The other two, Smokey and Tin-Tin, are the subjects of this story.
