With so many problems for our community, I wanted to take a Brian Williams approach and write about something different. Something that maybe will provide a smile or a refreshing read that allows you to enjoy a personal happy moment. In these times we all could use that peace.
As you may be aware for the past few years I have been able to study a mixture of economical structures and patterns throughout many areas on this great planet. I have been very fortunate to see numerous natural and man made things that tickle and tantalize, questioned and ponder the human in me; while the serenity of my music provided that best underlining score for my real life motion picture.
I was able to stroll and immerse myself into the redwoods of California. I ventured uneven streets in Vietnam and hung out under a giant waterfall in Costa Rica. I was able to pay homage to Theodore Roosevelt in Long Island and share a wonderful Italian dinner in New York with my wife. I watched under the moonlight, sea turtles come to shore in Melbourne Florida to lay their eggs and I stood in a line wearing a Hawaiian shirt, shorts and in sandals, hanging out with geniuses and their research at NASA.
We come to a point in life that seems to become an endless circle of an emotional roller coaster, while forgetting a special moment that brought the simplest of pleasures. We become so focus in our fast paced ways that those “stop and smell the rose’s” periods are really unheard of. But reflection needs to be in our lives. Happy times amongst the chaos.
Take that time and remember. Find your cheerful moment. You will soon find a breath of fresh air that will not only lift your spirits but somewhat recharge your emotions to a Qi (chi) like state.
Here’s to your happy times!
Cheers
