Day 25 of a Month of Gratitude

I felt really happy today for no reason at all considering the weather was rainy, cold, and just ugly. I meditated and again experienced the golden light, and just before opening my eyes I saw Pablo Picasso’s face. Strange, I know! I felt joy and happiness all day so I was thinking that maybe the hedonic adaptation had set in? The term “hedonic treadmill” or “hedonic adaptation” is a concept that people return back to their set level of happiness whether something good or bad happened. Whether a person had a bad car accident that left them paralyzed or if they won the lottery, people return back to their original set point of happiness. So maybe I’m used to this bleak state of the world that we’re in and that maybe I’m back to my natural, happy self? God, I hope so. Being happy for no reason at all, especially during this lockdown along with the terrible Chicago weather kinda makes me feel superhuman right now. So, so grateful…
