Happy?

This fellow was peacefully munching grass in the side yard of my church.   It was last Saturday afternoon.

We are in a suburban neighborhood.  Family homes, attentive landscaping, busy streets and walking traffic describe our area.  Still, deer are frequent visitors.  It’s not unusual to see one or two, even a family of deer resting or having a meal around wooded spaces, especially surrounding our church parking lot.  They amble away but they do not panic.

Thanks to my stealth driving this one wasn’t disturbed – stayed where he was; only stopped eating to consider I wasn’t a threat.   I got the picture.

I was happy.

Seeing that beautiful animal in his serene setting, the problems of the world didn’t matter.

What makes you happy?
