TODAY'S QUOTE:
We choose and consume, feast and forget, then rush on to the next hot thing. There's no point chasing that kind of success because it's so transient. Far better to follow (our) own paths and be true to (ourselves)." ~ Emili Sandé

The world runs on consumption of goods... the more you have the more you want. We self-soothe, measure self-worth, calculate the value of others, and equate a good life by how many goods owned. We chase a happiness that does not exist in possessions that we grow bored with when anything bigger, faster, or better comes along. Having things is not a crime, but letting them have you ought to be classified as one.

Things of real and lasting value do not cost any green paper that they make in a factory. Real happiness cannot be manufactured, but it can be grown. We can rush back and forth filling shopping carts in a frantic dance to music that plays in the endless advertisements that promise us heaven on earth. But the only way to find what we seek is to stand still and firm inside ourselves and find out what we can produce. Shop local!!! Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
