Are you happy

If you ever feel down, please read this blog. This is real. 

The posts are the distilled and final lessons of life. 

If you ever pity yourself read about a real fighter, Ellie.

I loved all Ellie's posts; this and this one are some of the many good ones. I visited almost all recommended in the blog websites. I even watched "A good year". It is a nice movie.

I shed lots of tears:

"... My advice is to feel everything. Feel the joy of hugging your children, feel the coldness of swimming in the ocean, feel the warmth of a bath, feel the sand underneath your feet, feel the pages of a book… Feel feel feel. Say what you mean and do what you love."
 

The biggest lesson learned from this blog? 

Live in the present. Feel the present.

I have read about this before. However, after reading Ellie's blog, I understood the advice better.

By the way, I would like to share something I just learned: how to find free accommodations if you love to travel. See this website for a host, but you will need to work for the roof above you....
