Fitting words for the summer solstice. A time of change, and reflection. A time to celebrate summer - the warmth of the sunshine, the fragrant smell of flowers and earth in the air, fireflies that light up the darkness, the gatherings of friends and family that inevitably happens when we feel warm and comfortable. The simple pleasures in life.
"There are times when it is hard to believe in the future, when we are temporarily just not brave enough. When this happens, concentrate on the present. Cultivate le petit bonheur (the little happiness) until courage returns. Look forward to the beauty of the next moment, the next hour, the promise of a good meal, sleep, a book, a movie, the likelihood that tonight the stars will shine and tomorrow the sun will shine. Sink roots into the present until the strength grows to think about tomorrow."

Thanks Lala. The world is full of petits bonheurs; I guess sometimes we just need a bit of a reminder. :)
