It’s easy to miss all the good things near us. They become familiar to us. We take them for granted until we don’t have them. Something like feeling great and suddenly we get a lower back spasm. When our back heals we know it feels so good to feel so good again. We are surrounded with wonderful things and people. If we open ourselves to them we’ll discover that happiness was all around us all the time. It’s not somewhere else. It’s not off in some exotic place. It’s here, around us, waiting for us to invite it into our lives.
