266 - Remember

The appreciation of life does not require wealth or plenty. It requires only gratitude for the beauty of the world.
~ from 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, Entry 266 ~
Every one of us has bad days. In fact, I'm sure there are those who may have more bad days than good days. But, as yin and yang flow through everything in the cosmos, for every bad thing that we feel or happens to us, good things come our way as well.

I'm not suggesting the good and bad will balance out like on a tally sheet. There will be times when the bad greatly outweighs the good and there will be times when it is the other way around.

When life is pressing down on us, it can be difficult to see beyond the muck. It is of vital importance, however, to remember the beauty that life beholds.

A smile, laugh or giggle.

The warmth of a friend.

The kind word -- spoken or not -- of a parent or lover.

A gentle breeze.

The innocent gaze of an infant.

This chance to live this moment.
