The Best Things

"The best things are nearest: the breath within you, the light in your eyes, the flowers at your feet, the duties at your hand, and the path of God just before you." -- Robert Louis Stevenson
How often we take these "near" things for granted. Enjoy the day!

Contentment

"I do not think the road to contentment lies in despising what we have not got. Let us acknowledge all good, all delight that the world holds, and be content." -- George MacDonald
Instead of focusing on what you are lacking, think about how grateful you are for what you have.

Trees

If you feel slow and dull in the cold of January, take a moment to notice the trees in their stark beauty. They will remind you that winter will not last but there is value and worthiness in this resting season.

Comfort

Have you ever noticed that if you are feeling that things are a bit "off" it only takes one small thing to change your perspective? By being aware of the things that give you comfort you can easily help yourself get back into balance. It may be a certain kind of music, a favorite food or drink, some comfortable clothes. Do what you need to make yourself feel comfortable and relaxed and before you know it you will be back in balance!
