In a recent article, Where the Acorns Are<\/em>, Philip Humbert<\/a>, sitting in the peace and comfort of his deck under a clear blue sky, lists the national and international realities of the world around us and says: \u00a0\u201cI don’t know what kind of day it is.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0He quotes Ana\u00efs Nin<\/a>: “We don’t see life as it is, we see life as we are.\u201d<\/em> That is a joyful point\u2026 it is our life, and we are responsible for its quality. We don\u2019t want to waste it. We don\u2019t want to procrastinate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 in each of us there is this thing, this spirit, that longs to fly. It may be a \u2018still, small voice\u2019 that calls to us, or it may be a yearning in the breast, or a dream in the early morning hours. Like a kid, it wants what it wants. Listen to that voice! That squirrel in my Oaks doesn’t know how high he is or that he should be very, very afraid. He goes for the acorns! \u2026. I’m recommitting to be more of a squirrel, to go out to the very tips of the branches, where the fat, succulent acorns are. And what I feast I shall have!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I invite you to go where the acorns are.\u00a0 Seize and hold every beautiful moment.\u00a0 Fill them with joy, happiness caring and love.\u00a0 As Humbert reminds us, we are responsible for the quality of our life.\u00a0 Let\u2019s enjoy life to its fullest\u2026 where the acorns are. Life is so very good.<\/p>\n

Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/p>\n
