Rhinos have a built-in capacity for Euphoria that defies description. It just comes with the Natural Package. We do not control it, because… Well, why would We want to?
Some days are only a #1 on the Euphoria Scale, others are a #3. These vacillations are more or less meaningless; any way you look at it, We are of Good Cheer and excited by our Prospects. Dazzled by our Good Fortune.
Maybe other Critters have the same potential, but forget to notice it.
Smiling through, Your Inner Rhino.
Rhinos are renowned for our upbeat attitude toward most Situations. Our disposition is a Natural Gift, a Noteworthy Bonanza. Rhinos are a Happy Species; We carry our own Fizz.
Part of our mindset is that We do not Borrow Trouble. Rhinos do not cherish Unhappiness or Doubts. We chug along, making the Best of Whatever Comes Our Way.
No system is foolproof, but ours seems to function well for Us. Most of the time.
Mr. Marc Chagall was born today in 1887.
And a good thing, too, say We at Your Inner Rhino.
Rhinos are bombarded with so many intriguing Notions, Ideas, Impressions and Associations that We can’t help wondering where this Mind Fodder hides out, before it gets to Us. Is there an Idea Centrale? Who is in charge? Who decides which Rhino gets which stimulating Awareness?
Unfortunately for this discussion, Rhinos are dealing with a new concept each (or almost each) moment, day and night.
Consequently, We are more adept at Ponderings than Conclusions.
Among the long list of National Holidays, Rhinos are intrigued by National Apple Turnover Day, which is today. We like to do our bit, although We are not clear about what gets accomplished.
Anyway, Congratulations.
July 4 is a National Holiday, yet We at YourInnerRhino.com have mixed feelings about how our Nation’s business is being conducted. We want to celebrate our Nation’s strengths and Ideals, but hesitate to pretend that all is Well.
We do not feel Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Wild Strawberries grow all around the World. However, on July 3, 1806 Mr. Michael Keens, a British market gardener, introduced Strawberries he cultivated himself to the Horticultural Society of London. Today, almost all market Strawberries are related to his ‘Keens Seedling’ variety of the fruit.
Mr. Keens also discovered that Strawberries have male and female plants. Strawberries won’t grow if you don’t have both on hand. Who would have guessed?
So as We Rhinos gobble our Strawberry Shortcakes, We salute Mr. Keens’ endeavors; Credit where it is due.
Rhinos are impressed with how often Adventures commence on Mondays. There are other days, but if it’s a new set of Experiences, Monday is the most likely start time.
We admit, We are seldom sure what day it is, but if its suspect, Rhinos call it a Monday, and nobody argues with Us about it. Which proves something, or other.
We do want to point out that Adventures are not necessarily Bad Things. They just involve a lack of Control, which is the norm anyway.
Today is Canada’s National Day, celebrating itself. It Officially got itself together 151 years ago, in 1867.
Since then, it has been a non-stop Jamboree of genteel Gamboling, Frolicking, and some tasteful Roistering. Parades and Merry Larks are the Canadian norm, as far as any Rhino can tell. On July 1, they just crank up the volume.
Rhinos are Revelry Specialists, so We have occasionally been asked in as consultants.
