Once I was walking my dog Lani, thinking darkly about the ways of the world, and the thought struck me-It is warm, sunny, I'm exercising, Lani is having the time of her life, and I still have my head in a dark cold room. Why aren't I happy ? I had to let go of the worries of the world, and open my eyes to the life right in front of me. I discovered happiness can result from leaving time to look at life as it is, rather than what my imagination can suggest. I just left the world behind and decided to be as happy to go walking as Lani. When the walks are over, the world can look brighter in general. (and so can Lani)
