Autumn Day (by M. D. Herter Norton, 1938)Lord, it is time. The summer was very big.
Lay thy shadow on the sundials,
and on the meadows let the winds go loose.
Command the last fruits that they shall be full;
give them another two more southerly days,
urge them on to fulfillment and drive
the last sweetness into heavy wine.
Who has no house now, will build him one no more.
Who is alone now, long will so remain,
will wake, read, write long letters
and will in the avenues to and fro
restlessly wander, when the leaves are blowing.

being happy is just momentary thing, everyone lives a bitter sweet life.

bitterness makes sweetness sweeter...

If that were true, then you always wanted a bitter life till the last moment for the sweetest.

Actually one has no choice on this. Surely I want a happy life. But I also know that one realizes no happiness if he has no idea of what a bitter life looks like.

Just relax, take it easy, go with the flow and accept whatever your life offers you. you are happy with your life whenever you say, "I tried."

Well, sometimes I really hate to say: I tried, but I failed....

that is normal, so, bittersweet is life. live is life, being high is just one small part of your life.

Fairly speaking, bitterness and happiness are 50 to 50 for many people...

I used liquid fertilizer plus weed control on my lawn, now, the grass looks much greener and grows like crazy, while sitting in my backyard, I feel I am on the top of the world, the green makes me happy;but in a min, I will have to mow the lawn, that will make me tired, a little bit unhappy ...

Even well, I just did my yard work and got bites and clippings all over my body. Have to take a bath and retreat to computer.... now I am happy.
