Sometimes we need to just cry.
Sometimes things are not black and white.
Sometimes there’s contradiction.
Sometimes there’s hypocrisy.
Sometimes things just don’t add up.
Sometimes we act poorly, speak too quickly, think negatively.
Sometimes we are dishonest, unknowingly. Sometimes knowingly.
Sometimes we slip up.

If you did, would you have time to hold anger?
Would you be too shy to talk to him? To her?
Would you care about others’ opinion of you?
Would you care about your opinion of you?
Would you walk when you could dance?
Would you smile when you could laugh?

In a world where rectangle objects are reigning mankind’s attention, what does it mean to look at someone in the eye when greeting them?
When talking to someone in an era where a plastic object is beeping and flashing in one’s trouser pocket at all times, what does it mean to listen wholeheartedly, without any other distractions intruding in the conversation?
What does it mean to someone to know that the person they are interacting with is one hundred percent engaged, fully alive and here, right now.
We would like to think this is the very least we can offer those who we love. Those who have made us – at one point in our life – smile during a time of despair, laugh until our stomachs hurt, feel comforted at the sacrifice of their time and commitments.
If not a sign of appreciation, just to be of common courtesy and respect.
We are presented today with an inevitable influx of mass information coming from all variety of sources right to handheld devices rarely to be seen any further than an arm-length from our person.
So would it be worth considering the most primordial question when in the presence of loved ones:
Am I here?

It’s one of the worst words in the dictionary to define.
The reason is understandable; it refers to an internal human experience, all of which to some extent are subjective.
It may be preferential, therefore, to use the word ‘happiness’ as an umbrella term. In doing so we can use it as a reference point, rather than a simple noun.
We could agree that to be happy is essentially to feel ‘well’; that is, the sense of living through a ‘good’ experience, or a ‘good’ life.
So, what constitutes a feeling of ‘wellness’? There are four key elements I suggest are not only essentially but primary in a life that can be described as happy.
Let’s get the obvious out the way: The smiling face. There’s no doubt that laughter, liveliness, passion, zest and ecstasy are all feelings associated with happiness.
However, it’s vitally important to know this is the very tip of the iceberg. Experiences like this are wonderful but they are not all we are capable of knowing.

Let’s start.
We are all busy, but let’s start.
Not because we have a plan, not because it’s going to be easy. Not even because we will succeed. But simply because we can.
A helping hand, a positive gesture, a day of service, a donation online, a compassionate thought, a best wish, a loving card, a 60 second call, a letter, a text, an article.
Everyone now has a voice. It’s our combined efforts that will win the day.
