March In

Hearts leap from the marmalade. Mysteries abound created by elements of love and the weather.

As March ushers a kaleidoscope of flowers, "love" floats in the air. Mochingbirds trill their notes beyond windows. Pairing at nest sites, cormorants take turns to gather twigs for April clutches. Squawks of wild parrots rise above houses. Beak by beak black phoebes build moist earth into nests. Breezes fill with song sparrow songs. 

March weather changes in an eye blink. Clouds send splashes of rain. A brush of azure erases the gray until then storms take over. Then the scene revolves.

Here's a heart on edge. Or is it about to take a chance?

The sea appears unsettled, not ready to make up its mind.

What surprises you today about love and the weather?

A Happiness Duty

"There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. Happiness does not need to become the goal. We need a variety of experiences and moods to write about." - Robert Louis Stephenson

In the 1980’s,  Martin E.P. Seligman adopted the term, “positive psychology.”  After years of studying the “learned helplessness” that characterized depression he began to study how individuals could learn optimism. Seligman felt a search for “authentic happiness” made more sense than  relying on psychology’s one-sided focus on illness and disorders.

Defer a negative focus on disorders.

Pursue optimism, courage and perseverance rooted in social and civil well-being. Consider how to gather simple pleasures. The process itself will attract feelings of exultation.

Take time in nature to savor all its flavors. Everyone needs to awaken to the positivity that explodes blossoms and sky. Take a pleasure interlude from your busy-ness to revel in sounds and scents. Squeeze out joy and appreciation for the creatures, plants, and trees.

As you consider "learned helplessness" move through a variety of moods.
