The Magic of Being Truly ALIVE“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive.” ~ Eleanora Duse

Life is all about being alive. That’s a no brainer right??

You really don’t need to be out there to ‘find’ happiness. Being alive and aware is enough.
