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.

“An Apple Tree is a deciduous tree known for its delicious, crisp apples and its charming presence in gardens. These majestic trees provide shade and beauty, with blossoms in the spring and fruit in the late summer to fall. Planting an apple tree not only enhances your garden's aesthetic but also offers the rewarding experience of harvesting your own fruit for years to come. 🌳🍎”
