Simple pleasures


When you place too many conditions on your enjoyment of life, there is no enjoyment. You can end up working so much to get the conditions just right, that there's no time left to really enjoy yourself.

Let go of the need to have everything just so.
Simply and fully enjoy being where you are.

In every moment there is beauty.
Rather than striving to make that beauty into what you think it should be, just enjoy it as it is.

Happiness is not something you must prove.
Find enjoyment in simply letting it flow.

Instead of working to do happy, be happy.
See that the possibilities for joy are far greater than anything you could ever contrive.

There is plenty of joy to be lived in this moment.
Let the uniqueness of the moment help you discover new ways of tasting life's real pleasures.

Sometimes the simple joy is just in being able to tell the truth, letting go of all our pretensions and just being real.

Sitting on the porch

Very early

Before the neighborhoods awake

With java and the dog

Clears my mind

Gets me ready for the day!

Almost absolute silence. I just close my eyes, lean back and listen to all the distant noises outside, I get completely relaxed and feel like I'm floating.
