his is BY FAR the best picture I have EVER taken! Isn&#8217;t it beautiful? I have this as my screen saver, I&#8217;ve been sharing it with everyone I know, and I am getting notecards and posters made from it! Yes, I love it!
Not just because it&#8217;s a beautiful image, but because it reminds me of [...]]]></description>

<p>What are you chasing after in your life?  Money?  Success?  Boys?  Girls?  Happiness?  When you chase after anything, it runs away.  Let&#8217;s take happiness as an example here &#8211; you don&#8217;t have to &#8216;find&#8217; happiness or chase it.  You can be it, right now.  No matter what&#8217;s going on around you, you can be happy now.</p>
<p>Try this:<br />
What has been the best thing about today (or what will be the best thing about today)?<br />
What was the last thing that really made you laugh?  (see tomorrow&#8217;s blog for my FAVOURITE joke of the decade &#8211; it&#8217;s GENIUS!!!)<br />
Talk about something that makes you happy &#8211; cuddles with your kids, sunshine, great music, your dog&#8217;s joy at seeing you when you&#8217;ve been gone 3 minutes, friends, lie-ins, singing, dancing, starlight&#8230;</p>
<p>Stop chasing what you want, and start EXPERIENCING it now instead.  </p>
<p>Love</p>

I was talking to a friend last week about going to the inquest into my uncle&#8217;s death &#8211; which I don&#8217;t want to do. So why are you going then, she asked? Excellent question…and the answer is that I don&#8217;t know. Actually, I am now not going to go, because as Claire most excellently reminded [...]]]></description>
