Happiness? Plz?

[aesc]

On the Trinity is depriving me of the will to live. As depressing is my imminent return to Heidegger, whom I abandoned because I couldn't take him anymore but need to start reading again. I'm not a philosopher or theologian, but I have to pretend I'm one for a while, and I don't think it's going well.

So. Tell me something that makes you happy. Tell me a story. Show me a picture. Anything to keep me from harming myself or the library book, or fleeing to the Northwest Territory.

Something that makes me happy: my dog grinning at me and thumping his tail when he happens to look up as I look down. My Moleskine commonplace book, which is stuffed full of quotations and randomness.

Also, all being well, sgabigbang goes live tomorrow, :>

Hope you like these, to me they're everything that makes me happy, my kids, friends, ponies, dogs and being outside in the beautiful weather. These were taken this weekend and they're probably not at all exciting to watch really, but it's such a lovely way to spend your afternoon and I think we're all terribly blessed to be able to do this whenever we want. I'm riding the black and white pony which a friend lends me at weekends and who I adore, my elder daughter is on the pretty chestnut pony who is ours and my younger daughter is on the grey pony who we look after with our boy. She's only just started riding out in the open so this is all very brave for her. The only thing missing is my other half, but he was working.

Dogs are also just all kinds of awesome and can make you so happy with just a look or the thump of a tail.

Oh, these were so so wonderful, you have no idea.

It's been six years since I last got on a horse, but at least ten when I stopped riding actively. Watching you, your daughter, and your horse brought back some of the best memories of my childhood, out gallivanting about on one horse or another and having so much fun.

Thank you so much for that. It means a lot.
