Happiness....

One of my new UBBT goals is to work through a daily meditation/thought book that I've tried to read before. Don't get me wrong, its been a great book, it just gets forgotten sometimes in the daily grind. I'm determined to finish it this time. One of the thoughts I read recently, was being aware of the little things that bring us happiness; to be detectives of what we personally really enjoy. It reminds me alot of Sifu Brinkers quest to live in the moment. So, with that thought twanging around in my brain for the last couple of days, I've been attempting to notice when I enjoy something. Today, my rather over-large lab, who thinks he's a lap dog, insisted (as he does everyday that I come home) that I sit down and snuggle with him. As I was buried in fur, as he 'allowed' me  the privilege of scritching him for as long as I could manage, I realized how nice it was to relax and just enjoy the moment. I know it should seem obvious; being a go-getter I often feel guilty just sitting around. But I think I may need to more of it. Mark one thing for the happiness book. Now if it was just in a sunbeam......
