Don't Let This Thought Escape

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.

Henry David Thoreau (attributed)

I love butterflies I have few photos of them. I will post it as soon as my IP normalized it's abnormalized at the moment:)
