On the serious business of happiness....

Riot clean up, St John's Hill, Clapham Junction

Hello readers! I'm back. I've been on a field trip and then when I returned to Windhoek I was distracted by the terrible news of the riots, violence and looting in UK's towns and cities. I was gobsmacked and worried about my family and friends and I wondered how this could happen? Even my home community, Clapham Junction, was badly affected, shops and businesses were smashed up.  But then I was encouraged by the outpouring of real community spirit and love as people flocked onto the streets of our towns and cities, in their marigold gloves and waving their brooms to join hundreds of others in riot clean up.

Scenes of calm but strong defiance. Anyway I'm still processing my thoughts and feelings about these events.

Meanwhile I've been contemplating happiness again and you may remember a few posts back that I suggested that happiness is a choice. Well I've just stumbled across a trailer to a film on YouTube called "Living Luminaries - on the serious business of happiness" which explores this further. You may have seen it already but it is the first time I have and I now would like to watch the whole film.  Here's the clip to whet your appetite. Are you ready for the journey to happiness?
