I'd like to share this article with my readers.  Although it only refers to United States, but I think it applies to everywhere.

Enjoy the present

I went to Van Dusen Garden for a picnic lunch yesterday, and really enjoyed the garden without the hustle and bustle of a city life.

It's important for us to take the time, get close to the nature and enjoy the present.  Often time,  we get so bogged down with the weight of life that we forget the stillness and the beauty of life itself.  Let's all take a moment, take a deep breath and enjoy what's around us.

We went to Seattle for a two day trip and really love this vibrant city. We wondered around in Pike market and really took in the various cuisines and cultures.
