The Joys of Reality

Seize the moment. Life is a gift. Look for the beauty around you. List the good things in your life. Unless you are clinically depressed, you will see many. (If you are clinically depressed, there is medicine and that is good.) Live in the moment. Live mindfully.

Use your five senses to see, hear, touch, taste and smell the things of life. Savor the moment. Ordinary things become extraordinary if we take the time to experience them. The media gives us illusions of the imaginations of others. What is real is so much better. Look for it. You'll find it. Someone has said, we find what we look for if we look hard enough. Is the glass half full or half empty? If you were trying to convince others of the value of something, what words would you use to describe it?
