Appreciation of life

I often watch TV and listen to news. I learn about the human world and the animal world. Life is stressful and often a struggle.

After retirement, I got hold of the many free books and booklets lying on shelves in various parts of the shopping corridors in Singapore. I learned about oneself and how to develop our mind. I tried to practice and I find it useful. Re-reading is even better. It is constant reminder until it is in our nature.

I learn to be appreciative about our life and things that go on around us and thank our blessings. I learn to live within my means and enjoy simple pleasures. It is all in the mind.

I wonder how nice it would be if I had the opportunity to read such books much earlier. Appreciate all who provide such opportunities to those who want it.
