"Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of well-being and inner peace, the source of true happiness." Eckhart Tolle
This quote really hit me this week and I've been thinking about it a lot. Thought I would share it. When I saw the words "Freedom from unhappiness," all I could say was "huh, wow."
Yesterday Jay and fam came over to have brunch (which ended up nt being cooked until noon, so I guess it was lunch!) and dye easter eggs. I am a new garden hose owner (so much fun having a piece of lawn!) and the most fun of all was Jay discovering it. I've included a few photos. Gosh she's cute. It sure makes me miss my other niece not being here. I think we will soon be investing in a kiddie pool for summer...what a great afternoon. There is no better way to feel well than get muddy with a 1-year-old. It brought me back to that quote I had read days before. Sometimes I think kids and pets have way more to teach me than any other group of beings.
Peace.

She's too cute!! I concur about dogs and kids teaching us to be carefree. Yesterday Mr. Floyd was all about running around in the mud puddle in my mom's backyard.
