"Just living is't enough, said the butterfly,
one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
Hans Christian Anderson
As we travel on our journey through life, we collect what we think we want or need, but in time we find our selves shedding what was once a keepsake. We strive physically or mentally towards a position we desire, only to find the reward does not satisfy the need.
Mark Nepo, author of THE BOOK OF AWAKENING, shares from his own experiences of looking forward to things, putting off trips or relationships until there is enough time or money. Does that time really ever arrive or will we be so thoroughly exhausted that deep appreciation escapes our weary bones?
There are endless options to be enjoyed if we can adjust our mind sets. Perhaps, right now we choose not to afford a trip to a luxurious spa, but how about candles and bath bombs with music in your own private bathroom? We may choose to not purchase a dozen roses, but an admired single rose can uplift our sense of beauty. We can allow affordable comforts to float upon until we can make a big splash,!
