It is easy to forget how wonderful life is. We have food to eat and clean running water, enough clothing to last a decade, and a nice warm place to sleep at night. We have cars, and computers, and just about anything else we can imagine. Everything is available ... at least for those who still have jobs. And yet, at times, we find ourselves anxious or unhappy. How is that possible? How can our wanton materialism fail to provide us with lasting satisfaction? A brief look at recent pictures from Haiti reveals a kind of desolation most Americans can never fathom. I suppose we have become jaded by the world we live in. So when you finish reading this post: take a deep breath, look around you, and reconnect with your own world. Rediscover the hidden treasures in your life. Today, I'm sharing this ceramic egg - a gift from a mother to her daughter.
