Being Happy Where You Are

I am currently spending a few days at a condo on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. Outside on the balcony, I have a beautiful view of the ocean.  If I get up early enough in the morning, I can see the cruise ships coming into port, and in the later afternoon, see them leaving.  I have to admit that sometimes I'm a little wistful, wishing that I were leaving on a cruise.

But I quickly let that thought pass through my brain, because if I spend any time thinking about it, then I miss the beauty of where I am. Or, as Buddha said,

"Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life."
