“We tend to forget that happiness
doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of
recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
If we are always looking forward to the future, looking forward to acquiring more, we may be blind to what we have, to what is. Often it is appreciating the small, everyday things that make me content:
- the feeling of the warmth of the sun on my cheeks although it is still cold outside;
-the chirping of birds in the neighbourhood trees;
-enjoying a good meal with family or friends.
I have experienced all of these today. I am content with what I have. It is all about being present, noticing and appreciating the many blessings we have each day. "Carpe Diem" - seize the day. It doesn't have to be big or momentous or earth shattering.. My carpe diem translates into "Appreciate the Day"!
