Beautiful Day

Do you know what? It's a beautiful day today. Its about 80 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, I've got a good amount of money in the bank (real liquid assets), I've got some great people in my life, I'm going to openning day at Dodger Stadium, I'm living in one of the top 10 or 20 countries in the world, I'm in good health, I have freedom to do whatever it is I decide to do today, tomorrow, and the foreseeable future, and I have no reason to believe things won't get better from here.

I don't live a fantasy life by hollywood standards - but by most standards my life is pretty close to what most people would consider pretty amazing. I do most things I want.

Life is about finding a balance of being happy with what you have - being conent - and improving your situation when you think that you are capable, but more importantly, when you want more. There is no absolute level of achievement or money that maximizes ones happiness. Some would say the journey to achieve those things is more valuable than reaching such arbitrary goals. I would include myself as one of those people.

I am in an office sitting at a desk - but the sun is shinning through my window on my face and I feel alive. It's a beautiful day.
