    Walking along a path on a sunny Summer's day and finding a poor black beetle on the path in front of you - on its back. It's desperately waving its legs about, unable to right itself and knowing that this maybe the last thing it ever does.
    And you find a little stick ,a blade of grass or a leaf and offer it to him. That lovely feeling as he grasps it and you gently take him to the foliage at the edge of the path and softly let him down.
    To watch him scuttle off......
    Happiness is.

    Please, what's your Happiness is :) moment?

                I can just picture this Jenny, doesn't it make you feel good when you can give nature a helping hand. :) I've done similar with sheep on the farmland around me. A pregnant ewe on it's back maybe, that will suffocate if not righted, or a lamb with it's little horns stuck in a pig wire fence that I've freed on more than one occasion.

                      Well, they are wet - bordering on soggy; tickle your chin; warm; generously given; and without a care if I've had chance to brush my teeth or not!

                          Thank you, Spruce :) He's still adjusting to our home, but I think he should have been called "Shadow" ... because I can't go anywhere without him following me! :doh:

                          Have you given your chest a good rub with Vic? That can help a chesty cough.
