Peaceful

A sage close to us had some interesting thoughts the other day about life and trade-offs. Yes, one can't have everything but part of the the secret to being happy is learning to appreciate what we have. And we do have much to be thankful for, living asthma and allergy free in a beautiful place surrounded by nature, and being together, although Zexiv does at times miss his friends from the sea (i.e. pufferfish, lionfish, clownfish, batfish, trumpetfish, grouper, sgt. major, moray eel, etc.), family, and the antics of his little nephews and nieces. And the taste of San Miguel beer :).

This old song sung by Helen Reddy (remember her?) from the 70s seems to sum it up all. When we last heard this song, it was from a cassette player.

Thank you, Grasshopper ...

A happy (and peaceful) long weekend to everyone.
