In the everyday noise and bustle of our lives, we tend to forget the little things that bring us joy, contentment and relaxation. At some point we should just take a step back and allow ourselves to be propelled forward into finding our little slice of wonder and enjoyment.

CAN WE STOP THE CASTING OF STONES
I'M SORRY, BUT I LOVE WILL SMITH. I LOVE YOU TOO CHRIS ROCK. BUT I THINK YOU WERE BOTH AT FAULT. I have sat through these last few days and watched and listened as one man played the devil and the other the imp.

How walking among the trees in the countryside restored my sanity
I have been having serious conversations with myself among the trees. They are good listeners, and they do reply to me in their own way, especially when there is a brisk wind and the leaves are whipped into a frenzy of conversation with each other. I join in the dialogue and we have a good tete-a-tete and heart to heart. We enjoy a good laugh and revel in the joy of being outdoor in the fresh country air.
