The weeks just fly by and it seems that the landscape of things changes ever so slightly. I suppose that it is really the day to day activities that determine our ultimate happiness. If we can’t be happy in the day, how can we be happy in a whole lifetime. The last two weeks have been complicated by outside influences that have taken their toll. However, we can look at life from any perspective and sometimes we just have to take a moment to be thankful for the things that we do have. How we take life is what determines our attitude and potential for happiness.
The summer is a laborious time of the year when we have to tend the crops that we have planted. However, soon we will be able to harvest those crops and this is the benefit we receive for the hard work. The coming months will emphasize just these things. The daily grind will continue almost relentlessly. These are the little things that continue to build our character and remind us that we are flexible and resilient.
Fast forward to the Fall which will bring the many longed for rewards of our very tough summer. Patience is the only virtue. Be optimistic rather than pessimistic as you pay the same price. Stay youthful by looking forward to the future and the unknown secrets that life will reveal.
