There is a beautiful post at WellRounded today about happiness and our cultural ideal of unattainable perfection.
A teaser tidbit:
No diet will slim you into that perfect body to allow you to do all those things you wish you could do. No amount of wishing you were something else; of looking for something more, will somehow drop satisfaction into your lap. Stop looking for MORE and see what IS.
The rest is here. It is definitely worth a read!

Thanks again for the blog-love 😀 I love your comment on my post “if we expect that happiness is only possible when we make more money, lose ABC pounds, meet the guy/girl, have the car, etc… then we put ourselves in a state where happiness is not in the present. It’s in the future. Because the future is ALWAYS NOT NOW, we struggle to find happiness in the moment, even when we achieve what we thought would make us happy… cuz we have worked ourselves into a state where happiness is in the future, not the present.”
So exactly where my mind was trying to go; thank you!
You are most welcome!! I’m glad my comment was helpful. 😉
Keep up the awesome posting, April! 😀
