"'Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.' - John Barrymore

Funny how when we stop rushing to get the necessary things of life accomplished, we realize we have many things in life for which to be thankful and grateful. When we look at the flat tire and become thankful we have a car to begin with, pay the electric bill and express gratitude for both warm and cool comfort, or even wash up another pile of dirty dishes and are touched by the
crowd of loving friends who visit, we find that authentic happiness exists all around us.

Real living happens between the hustle and bustle of everyday activity...in quiet moments that wrap around our heart like a soft tender hug."
