Your happiness never lasts long, I guess that's the good fortune that you see all those little things and moments around that make you happy. Permanent happiness is not only not possible, not even in Olympus or on Mount Athos, but it would kill all those short, small, intense states of happiness that together give us the joy of living.
I liked your post very much, I wish you success in the contest, not necessarily to win something material but to win as many readers who will see what a sensitive and good person you are!
I wish you a year full of small and frequent happiness, of course also to your partner!

You are so right dear @bluemoon! Happiness is impossible to be permanent and I don't think that it is in our nature either. I guess that the goal (if there is one) is to be in a state of calmness and return to this state after we experience any feeling, happiness or unhappiness, excitment or grief...
Your support is amazing and much appreciated, thank you so much!!!
Same to you! With all my heart!!!
Yes, I feel the same way and appreciate the calmness, but it is increasingly hard to achieve. The world is moving way too fast now, especially for people of my age.
I wouldn't call it "support", it's more of an admiration!
That's a huge compliment!!! Thank you!
Let's take it as an extra challenge living in these times :)
Maybe we can manage to have a good time, too.
On this regard, I try not to take things very seriously, I try not to forget the impermanence of everything (of course I forget it very often!).
People of your age? Age is a matter of mind and heart!!!
Not to mention that you definitely know more about crypto (a super new thing in the world) than I do ;)
It is a sincere compliment and you deserve it! I've noticed that here in the comments, many people tend to gratuity sometimes for no reason, just so they don't get upset and maybe get a vote. I like to know people I like, try to get to know them from what they write, from what they discuss with others. I like to think I can recognize good people. I've met a few here, a few. Few not because they are few but because I haven't gotten to know them.
"extra challenge living in these times" Of course you're right, what else could we do? I'll try and I think this year will give me the answer...
"Age is a matter of mind and heart!!!". Totally agreed!
As for crypto... I learned to do some technical things, send to an exchange where I also made a card and thus spend from the money raised. Because I can't do like the big players or specialists or dreamers, to collect as much as I can and in years I will become rich. Probably for those of your age, this is a good option, I don't know how many years it will be for me. As for crypto knowledge, ha, ha! When I tried to do more complicated things, trading, for example, I always lost. When I followed the advice of specialists, who said in their posts that this will grow, this must be sold..., I always lost! It's so hard to give good advice.
Thank you so much @bluemoon!
All these years that HIVE was the private world of Stefanos I wondered how can it be so interesting there? Sometimes I would ask him if there was something to share and this is how I knew some of you for years now through some of your stories as you say, long before I even think about becoming part of it. It all has to do with meeting people and interacting with each other, we are social animals after all!
As for crypto, every time I try to read something it is unbelievable how my brain shuts down, haha! I doubt I will ever make it clear in my mind. @fotostef is also like that (luckily a bit less), so making a fortune out of it would be miraculous!
Giving good advice is always hard, even harder in this field, but you never know what is going to finally work... Experimenting might make it more spicy, especially if next time you will win!!!
I'm sorry you didn't get into Hive earlier, on the other hand, three to four years ago it was much harder for beginners. Now it's much better, those who have value, who have something interesting to say, are quickly noticed and get a pretty consistent reward.
I guess it all happens for a reason! For sure, I am very happy to be here now and also to get to know you! A great pleasure indeed!
