Searching for meaning -- whether it's for your mind or body, or soul, is never easy. I'm sure that anyone, at one point or another, has felt so uneasy that even your mind cannot be still.We've all been there -- when you get the feeling where you just want to stop thinking, stop doing everything, and scream air out of your lungs and tell yourself, what am i doing with my life?

Unfortunately, the world we live in makes it difficult to make the time and effort to do something that's just for us. Sadly, we content ourselves with fleeting moments of joy and excitement that are few and far between. Just as we make do with microwaveable dinners or quick sandwiches to get through the day, we also content ourselves with just hi-hellos and polite short conversations. Talk becomes mere necessity and not an enjoyment to be savored.

Timmy and I have recently gone through this process of searching and what we have realized is that it's not difficult to find meaning, and be happy. One of the most important things we discovered is that our happiest moments are the most simple of days when we would sit out on the sofa in our our sun room, on a cool spring day, have drinks and chips, and just talk like best friends and lovers do.

I guess the bottomline is that happiness is not necessarily about creating something complicated and new. It's about having the right ingredients and working with those. Communication and laughter are more than fuel. Done well, with honesty, with one's whole heart, and the people you care about to share it with -- they can get you through the most difficult moments of your life.When you take time to talk, it makes you a better person. Your mind becomes relaxed and balanced and your soul becomes calm and happy.

So from today, we are devoting some bandwidth to share our experiences, our little joys and quirks as individuals and as a couple. Because in the end, it comes down to realizing that life has to be lived... and shared.
