Well, where happiness in the moment is concerned, I always find myself looking to the example of little ones, that is to say to the children, in order to see what are they doing. Most of the children --the lucky ones, I guess-- can be found running barefoot through the streets, chasing after a stray ball, skipping through the grass, building monuments in the sand, scaling formidable trees, laughing with a friend all the while remaining completely blind to categorical divisions and societal imposed limitations.
In essence, children in their untainted innocence haven't forgotten how to simply BE. They instinctively know how to pause, in the moment, in order to look UP ... And everything just seems to naturally fall into place after that, for them.

... To look up and appreciate the wonder of the world around. To take a deep breath and breathe in the hope of infinite possibilities. With this in mind, why not take some time for you today to simply stop and LOOK UP. Give yourself just one simple minute in which to clear your mind, open your heart, take a deep breath and just BE. Maybe lie in the cool grass and look UP. Personally, I happen to believe that God writes His messages in the clouds for us to find.
Who knows, maybe while you're looking up you will remember what all children know, but we grown-ups seem to have somehow forgotten: that we all share the same sky on this amazing, rapidly spinning Blue Planet.
Joyful day to you!
Peace & LOVE ...

P.S. We have unexpected snow here today, so if I do happen to lay upon the ground, while looking UP, it will be in the snow. Guess, I'll be making snow-angels while looking up : )
