Ahhh,…. The meaning of life. What’s it all about anyway ? Why are we here, why am I here ? What’s my purpose ? Many people spend their entire lives searching for their purpose…. Did you have a good life ? Did you become a big success ? Are you happy ? What is happy ? You can get bogged down in so many questions about happiness, success, purpose, and often become depressed when you think you’ve missed the point of living. Searching for answers and learning is important but I agree that being and appreciating what is already around you is the key to happiness. Siddhartha spent his entire life searching for the meaning of Life and tried many different things but it’s only at the end of the book when he is sitting by the river … looking out over the sparkling water aware of the Nature all around him that he realizes that it’s simply in being that you will find happiness. So I also try to spend every spare minute out in nature,… walking, sitting, kayaking, dreaming … sometimes alone but also with family and this makes me truly happy. Giving thanks to the Creator and all of creation for all these blessings. And then I post a photo of this moment to Blurt. How great Thou Art…

Navigating a Busy World Gone Crazy
This is, indeed, what life is in my experience: A series of "moments," all of which have their own worthiness... gratitude for "what is." It may not be what we thought it might be...
Much of it is a choice. Do we obsess over what isn't, or do we focus on what is?
Nature is all around us with its beauty; something that can always be appreciated... you have your river and the world around it; I have my bay and mountains; the world around them. And I'm grateful that I get to share those images with the world, here and elsewhere.
