I Evolved and Found Happiness in the Simple Pleasures
Happiness begins when I appreciate what I already have.
I’m sitting at the window enjoying my early morning cup of coffee.
The sun dissolves a morning mist, revealing the forms of a peaceful landscape. I watch as the world around me wakes up. A wave of satisfaction sweeps over me.
