ibd a sbi, sili aM a" J ---- A Re TANCE SA CS SN CE --p-- Of Facts and Fantasy by Reta M. Berrill Happiness Is' We wish our loved-ones happiness. Yet, we know not what their happiness is. Because it's many things to as many people. Happiness is not part of the package-deal like, two eyes, ten fingers and twelve-year molars. But we are given the necessary equipment for searching it out. Some will find their chief enjoyment in making money. The satisfaction of achievement. Others delight in spending it, and 'think not of tomorrow.' There's many who can only be content in the city with crowds and noise. While others will head for the hills and solitude. One man will dedicate his whole life to others, accepting and expecting of worldly goods only sufficient to survive. His brother might be immune to 'his fellow-man, and never fully emerges from his private cocoon. Happiness might be an accumulation of material things, acquired not for necessity but for pride of ownership. Their's is the biggest car, or a large house filled with unused gadgets--expensive clutter. His delight is the -knowledge that many of his contemporarires are wondering and speculating "How does he do it? and, Where have 1 failed?" But happiness can be many things. A sunrise or sunset; the reassurance that man is not in complete control of the universe. Wandering down Memory Lane, sharing "Do you remember?" with one who knows the way. Or, it might be a medley of favorite odors; a summer rain, Nicotiana at night-fall, and a simple basket of laundry plucked from the clothe's line- perfumed with all out-doors. Contentment can be the sight of children at play or their good-night kiss. Earned rest at day's end. Sharing a meal, receiving a letter or an unexpected phone call. A quiet time with a book, digging in the garden, discovering the first bloom of springtime or the one that endured an early snowfall to smile again. It can be a teacher's kind remark on Junior's report card, or hearing a wee daughter's pride in her dress when she explains "My Mummy made it." Happiness is elusive. How often we've encountered someone--talking briefly, and for no specific reason our day was made. Reversing this--our day was made until we met a someone, talked briefly and when he walked away our sunshine was gone too. And happiness is a fragile quality. We can't see it, touch it or define it. It's an outlook, an emotion, an involvement, a mood, a response from any or all of our five senses. This is the way it was said by one who was born more than two hundred years ago. The author and poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. "The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions--the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment, and the countless infintesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling." ~~ To this we would only add--happiness' is found primarily in the State of Mind and grows best at our own firesides. oi 5] 5 day BLACK RIVER ANTIQUE MARKET 1 RIVER STREET SUTTON WEST, ONTARIO BUY - SELL - TRADE -BROWES Beginning the 3rd Saturday in June 1st and 3rd Saturdays for July, August and September, except Saturday, August 4th.
