“We have to get back to the beauty of just being alive in this present moment.”
“Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet” “And the winds long to play with your hair.”
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather"

I won a copy of this book in the goodreads giveaway.
This is a simple and easy to read book about giving your full attention to living in the moment. The books is divided into seasons of your life and seasons of the year. Starting with your youth in the spring all the way through to old age in the winter. The books is intended to be read on a daily basis, with each day starting with an inspirational quote followed by a daily reflection.
I read the book so that I could give a review, but will now begin reading the way it is intended to. Once a day. I am hoping that this book will help me be more aware of being and living in the present, and who couldn't benefit from that?
