Bask and Steep
“Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom.”― Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well
“Comparison is the thief of joy” – Theodore Roosevelt
Something else
Somewhere else
Someone else
Someday when
The grass is greener on the other side of the fence
Look longer
In the eyes of what you have right now
All of it
Imperfect, irritating, incomplete, becoming, unfolding, blooming, beautiful
Not merely at what’s missing, changed, different
Be present and awake
Bask and steep in this day
Find the good, it’s there
Give good away, it compounds
Deep abiding hope, optimism, gratitude
Joy – guard it, receive it, offer it.
“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”― Socrates
