The Kindness of Enjoying Where You Are

"I travel light.  I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are."
― Diane von Furstenberg

The other day, I took a long walk along the beach.  I marveled at the natural beauty all around me -- the ocean, the palm trees, the peacock in full bloom...  I don't walk along the beach as often as I'd like.  I somehow seem to forget how much I enjoy it and so I let things that don't matter much get in the way of something that is important to me.  As I walked, I thought about how kind we can be to ourselves by enjoying where we are.  That might mean taking in natural beauty or enjoying the relationships that we have or simply appreciating our stage in life.
