I didn't expect such a brief read when I got my hands on this book, but sometimes good things come in small packages. ULRIKE seems to have a succinct and profound way with words that made this short booklet an inspiring bit of reading that can be revisited again and again. It's so easy to forget how good many of us have "it", this life of ours, but it is important to step back and remind ourselves of the blessings we enjoy every day. Getting so caught up in our problems and stresses is an unfortunate symptom of modern life, but there is far more to be happy about. Instead of being obsessed with the past or the future, try to enjoy the present. No one is promised tomorrow. These may sound like hackneyed aphorisms, but in fact, they are statements that should be absorbed, considered, meditated on, and embraced every day. ULRIKE helps to center your attention on the important things in life in these pages, and does so in a very effective way. There are plenty of "pick me up" books out there, but this one is short, simple, and gets the job done.
