Summer aesthetic purple

I loved the purple color of this starfish I found at Nauset Beach, Orleans, MA, Cape Cod. As I was helping it make it out to sea before the tide went out, I caught this shot of it below the waves.

Happiness sometimes seems very elusive. The more you chase it, the harder it seems to catch it. It’s a by-product of living meaningfully and listening to what your body and mind need. However, you don’t necessarily have to win a Nobel prize fto live with purpose. Spending time with the people you care about, slowing down and being present in the moment, allowing yourself to take in the beauty of the world around you—that’s how we befriend happiness.
