When SSi talks about “finding your happy place,” this concept is wide open to interpretation.  Sometimes we are confused about what the truest form of happiness really is.  The big exciting events of life, like a lotto win, are not to be mistaken for happiness.  It is a thrill perhaps, or an emotional high, but true happiness comes from doing what we love, with people we care about, and in being creative and in making a contribution of some sort to man, animal or nature. True happiness comes from a level of contentment in simple things–not manic highs that are not sustainable.

This little bird, filmed in Russia shows us that “having fun” is not solely a human idea.  He is clearly quite intentional about his plan to have fun.  It is absolutely heart-warming to see this intelligent creature repeatedly sled down this roof–not because it helps him gather food or build a nest or attract a mate, but because it is fun.

When is the last time you had some fun?  Well, it’s Saturday night, get crazy.

All the best!
