You cannot judge the value of a life by its quantity. It is by the joy that you are feeling. The more joyful you are, the longer you live. Let yourself relax and breathe and be free and be joyous, and romp. The optimum physical life experience is to have plenty of things that stimulate you to desire, and an awareness of the way you feel, so you’re reaching for thoughts that feel good—so you’re wide open, so you’re tuned in, tapped in, and turned on.

This is a photo of my daughter Bimala with the mules Gizmo and Gomez.  May your holiday have moments of this kind of happiness and connection. Appreciation for the small moments and for what is precious to you.
