“Be happy for this moment.
This moment is your life.”
~ Omar Khayyam
My son and I took a walk to the local Farmer’s Market last weekend. The sun was out, and finding ourselves on a rare non-skiing weekend, we headed the few blocks north to see what we could see. Along the way, canvas bag slung over my shoulder, camera in hand, and my son by my side, I savored the moment: pure happiness.
Take a walk with me. Share in my happy moment.
Sometimes it’s the smallest moments that make the largest impact. Look closely where you are. Find pleasure.
Remember, be happy for this moment – this moment is your life.
Where will you find your next moments of happiness today?
