I have been reading some poetry recently. Out of the book "Red Bird" by Mary Oliver. I'm new to her poems, but I quite like her. Sometimes I find poetry speaks to me in ways nothing else can. In one poem called "Sometimes" she writes:
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
So, maybe that's what I need right now, to pay attention and be astonished and share my astonishment with others. I've been feeling like life is so daily lately. I've lost my astonishment and I haven't been paying attention. I think this is part of being happy.

love the poem. i'll have to check her out. i think you are right, although i think at times, it is much harder to do than it seems like it should be.
