“I read. The more you read, the more the world opens up to you... And the happier you are and more comforted you feel. It's up to you. No you is educated who cannot educate himself.”

The Wildlife Success Story of the Summer!
Our sweet duck family!
Dennis and I visited these ducks near our home in a park, starting late June, once or twice a week. A mama and three babies. They love people and we’d sit with them until the babies started getting tired, closing their eyes. Then the mother would quack and the babies would follow her, swimming to the other side of the pond, to the marsh area, to rest/sleep.
Over the July 4 stormy weekend, sadly one of the babies didn’t survive. Now it was just Mama Duck and two babies. Nevertheless they were so sweet. I even have a video of them following me.
Another time we went, something was off. I noticed one of the babies had a hook in her beak. It was around 7:30 in the evening and most places were closed. We called so many places, countless times — animal control, wildlife rehabs. Raptor Trust was kind enough to say that if we could capture the baby, they would take her in and get the hook out. Next step, I called the Mayor of Kenilworth. She loved animals and had some friends come out to try to capture the duck. Even a cop got in the pond with a boat! Her other friend went in with a kayak. No luck. The ducks are fast. They didn’t realize it was help, and were scared.
At this point, the ducks are now stand-offish to people. I didn’t want to go back anymore and see this poor thing with a hook in her beak. I told my husband, “It’s up to God now.”
I prayed, and I got friends to pray. Even friends who don’t believe in praying, prayed in their own way!Yesterday my husband had a gut feeling to go back to the pond after about two or three weeks. We went and the hook is no longer in the duck’s mouth!
Either someone helped, or the duck got the hook out herself! She kept nuzzling her beak under the wing, so maybe she worked it out? I tried contacting the Mayor and didn’t hear back yet. So it’s a mystery as of now.
The good news is, it seems back to normal and the ducks are happy as they could be. Only now, they are a little stand-offish because of all the people who tried to help, but inadvertently frightened them.

We plan to continue to go back a few times a week and check up to them. And, please, let this be a lesson — if you are fishing, PLEASE clean up after yourselves! Do not leave your hooks and fishing line lying around so wildlife can get hurt!
Ducks are sweet, beautiful animals. And they will bond with you when you respect them. -

Happiness undoubtedly takes effort individually and collectively. So I am asking is Happiness inadequate without Justice and Equity?
In Praise of Idleness by Bertrand Russell, he argues that if labour was equitably shared out amongst everyone, resulting in shorter work days, unemployment would decrease and human happiness would increase due to the increase in leisure time, further resulting in increased involvement in the arts and sciences.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

I use daylio as a mood tracker. I’ve been using it 3x daily for 10 years, and I’ve amassed a lot of data. I don’t often make time to reflect on the data, even if I habitually collect data. So I’ve been playing with analysis using software tools to see what the patterns show me. It’s pretty neat.
Does anyone else use Daylio? Or a similar tool?

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
He who has so little knowledge of human nature, as to seek happiness by changing any thing but his own dispositions, will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply the griefs which he purposes to remove.
Samuel Johnson (1709–1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1750-04-07), The Rambler, No. 6More about this quote: wist.info/johnson-samuel/35246…
