Listen to the Woods Speak
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

If you can, walk near trees or water.

serenity, that nothing is.
- Thomas Szasz
Laugh at yourself and at life.
Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity,
but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain,
cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective
that seemingly terrible defeat and worry
with laughter at your predicaments,
thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
- Og Mandino
The difference between serenity and boredom is whether you choose to enjoy it.
