What’s Going On?

I walked into a float center and saw the owner sitting in the lobby, barefoot with his feet on the table.

"What's going on?" I asked. "Nothing, man. Enjoying being alive," was his answer. It wasn't the answer I expected, but it was the answer I needed.

Life is a phenomenon. The experiences we have are miraculous. I often forget to kick back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of being alive.

Although sitting back to look at life with gratitude doesn’t have a price tag, the insights gleaned from it are priceless.
