Living

I opened an email today that closed with:

-Life is a gift-Open Daily-

This, of course, made me think about living and happiness in life.

Audrey Hepburn said: Finding the small pleasures in every day life and living every moment like your action in that single moment matters is the key to happiness in life. If you wait for something great to happen, it may not ever happen. But keep busy in the moment, and you may incidentally experience true happiness.

Benjamin Franklin said:

Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom.

So, here's to living in the moment! And, treating every single moment and day like a gift and an opportunity to do the right thing.

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; love more, and all good things will be yours.

Swedish proverb

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
