The simple happiness of being content with what is right now is crucial in helping us avoid living in the pain and ache of what is not. The fullest potential of who we are as human beings is just that, being fully present here and now to the happiness of ordinary, simple things and events of daily life, giving us the solid ground to stand on to be the extraordinary people that we also are.
I miss those cartoons and their reminders of the simple and ordinary happiness of everyday life. But it helps to know that happiness is … being here.

You are so right on. I constantly lose sight of the simple pleasures that surround me. The gorgeous sunshine that has decided to grace San Francisco with it's presence over the past few days, the ever-lengthening summer days, and a million other causes for celebration. This afternoon, I'm going to sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing.
