So this weekend, my family and I headed to the beach, something my daughter loves to do. It’s funny that I live in Hawaii, but I don’t like the beach. It’s not so much the beach I don’t like, but the water, and the sand (haha, which make up the whole beach!). So I usually make camp in the shade of a tree somewhere and watch everyone else swim and play.
This trip to the beach, I had a moment. For a split second, I felt like I had a moment to myself. As I was laying under the tree, reading my book, I happened to look up and really see what beauty was around me. It’s funny that I was on the chapter that says: “what is happiness”. I mean, it was really a nice day. And for a moment I was lost in the day, without another thought in the world. Of course, the moment quickly passed, but that quick moment was so nice.
What is happiness?
Palm trees anyone?

This is so true! I live in a very beautiful place too, surrounded by hills and rivers and sometimes when you pass the same views over and over you start to pass them by without actually “seeing” them. Thanks for the reminder to slow down and enjoy!
Yes, I totally agree…life is too short. Take a step back and notice what’s around you, you’d be amazed! Love the pictures…Everyone should take time to really “see” things…
