Why is it that many of us have so much trouble finding joy in our lives? Often, we tend to live in the future, or conversely, the past, but not in the present. We make elaborate plans for our holidays or our retirement, but what about enjoying the moment? Smelling the fragrance of flowers, the pleasure of a walk in warm brilliant sunshine, listening to sounds of rain lightly tapping on a window pane are all ways to commune with elements of nature.

We remember the special qualities of our family members and our friends – the quirkiness, the charm, the brilliance, and all the things that draw us to them. Each, in their own way, has something to contribute to enhance our lives and make them better. We only need to look back and shape our present with positive thoughts from the past.
