It seems we're always looking for the thing that makes us happy... a grand vacation, the start of baseball season, a new child/spouse/pet. In searching for these things, have you ever thought what we're missing?

Every day, the simple, mundane things of what makes up our day are, in fact, making up our lives. The cup of coffee in the morning energizes you... and also has health effects/benefits (you can find studies supporting either). Your drive to work is merely what gets you there (alive!), while what you listen to informs your view on the news/sports/celebrities. All these small things we overlook as we strive for the next best thing are, in fact, making up our lives.

Celebrate your simple things. Understand that while you're intending to 'make some changes' your life is still happening. While you're waiting for euphoria, simple happiness comes along every day.

I'll do my best to help.
