Things...

You know what...i used to think that i needed so many things...so much stuff.....i always wanted more and more things and this constant wanting and wishing made for little actual happiness.

Now, when i think about those times it makes me smile. I have learned that it is not the things and stuff that we collect on our life's journey that makes us happy. It is disconnecting from the needs and wants and realising that what we have right here, right now is everything.

Knowing that we are loved and have adequate food and shelter, the basic needs of life....if we can meet these then we are truly blessed.

So many people on our planet have so little....why should we complain when the wine we ordered at dinner is not up to scratch or the new car is not the correct colour, when there are people without basic items in their lives...such as water and food.

Go hug a tree and re-connect with Nature and her bounty....turn off the tv and try to see that you do not 'need' the things that you are being told you do.

A kiss from your child, watching butterflies dance around in the Sunlight.....those things are priceless.
