Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read

"A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever." -Martin Tupper

Sometimes it just seems silly


When you're staying somewhere outside the comforts of home, you will obviously see differences between the two places but I advise you to look for the little differences out there. Don't just accept what you have and think that's all there ever was and will be- look beyond and begin to question the world around you. Open yourself up to new perspectives and begin to ask "Why are things this way?"
In doing so, you'll begin to see the world in a new light. You see things from a different angle and you might surprise yourself with your insights. Being able to do these things is something that makes us the unique creatures we are.

Remember that there is more to life than work. To take time for yourself and to relax in the moment. Why not sit in the park on your lunch break and read a good book or take a short nap? Why not play with your kids in the fountain, or at least push some obnoxious ones into one. :) Sit with some friends and catch up- or simply enjoy a cup of good tea. These are things that make life meaningful and worth living. It's something we need to be more mindful of and it's certainly something our fellow neighbors to the East haven't forgotten. Sometimes- the way we get stuck doing things just seems silly.
