I can find little to disagree with there my friend. the problem is actually being able to do those things. Being in the now. You need to forge the habit. Appreciation is something that contributes towards happiness but in our culture we don't do appreciation that well. I think we are improving. I am improving too. But I've still got work to do. Really though, I should try much harder to appreciate because it will probably make me happier than I am now. Thanks for reminding me what I need to do, and also what I need to remember to be able to do these things.
