Simple Gifts of Happiness

Recently, 

I discovered that sometimes, simple things 

can really brighten my day and lift my mood.

I have loved bunnies my entire life, 

and this time of year is like a gift from God.

Tiny bunnies everywhere, and I gain happiness for each one.  

I am lucky.

My sister has the same love for Pandas...  

Unfortunately she doesn't live in Asia, 

so she doesn't get this daily boost.

I am lucky. 

I am thankful that I can enjoy such pleasure in this little gift.

I don't question my endorphins or suffer embarrassment;

I accept each rush gratefully. 

I want to continue to recognize the many sources of happiness that surround me, 

and the people I love.  

I will strive to enjoy the life I am living right now,

instead of focusing on what I'd like to change, 

or what the future could bring.

If the natural world allows, 

I will enjoy spotting bunnies each spring and summer for the rest of my life, 

and so, I want to embrace the other daily joys that the Earth brings to me.  

So simple, so free.. 

whole and natural and good.
