Money doesn't buy you Happiness!

They say money doesn't buy you happiness, hm mm let's look at that. I woke up this morning naked and cold, with the wind flapping my cardboard box around, only to discover that it wasn't the wind but the ceiling fan which someone had set on category 4. I felt a paw in my face and knew at once either Cujo needed a pedicure or she wanted out! BTW she could have used a Mentos! As we walked out for her first constitutional on this cool crisp Georgia morn, I noticed the Big Dipper in the sky slowly being eclipsed by the clouds. It looked glorious! I thought that's something you can't buy. I thought about the beauty of watching the sunset on the beach, when it falls in slow motion until it gets half way, then just seems to disappear in seconds. I remembered the first time I saw the sunrise over the Grand Canyon, AWESOME! You could feel the warmth bouncing of those crevices. Sort of like sitting in the Forrest before dawn, feeling the air becoming a little more crisp just before sunrise. The almost sudden appearance of birds,animals, and noises as the sunlight begins to trickle through the trees. That morning in the Grand Tetons when light brought into view a beautiful Bull Moose from what appeared to be shadows. Maybe that feeling you get as you sit on the freeway, the tail lights fade, the horizon brings warm light and for just a second every thought seems to fade. Sometimes it's the profile of a loved ones face. Which despite what they may think are defects seem to bring a smile and joy that fills your soul and body in a way that nothing else can. You feel lucky just to be in that moment! It's these times that money doesn't even enter your mind. You feel simple and happy, loved and wanting to love. When everything pauses in nirvana. You can't buy this! Precious and fragile it can fade in a instant! So when you are given these gifts of beauty to mind and spirit, really savor them remembering all you need to is relax and let it happen. Don't rush, don't plan or organize, just breathe. Life is short my friends, in the end it passes in a second.
Besides have you really seen anyone laughing all the way to the bank?
