It's time to start searching :)

They say every cloud has a silver lining. That without rainy days we would never have rainbows. We need opposites; we need good and bad, hot and cold, bright and dark, young and old, love and...the opposite of love.

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” - Elie Wiesel.

I found this quote today, and it fits in perfectly with what I was trying to say. The opposite of life IS indifference. So we need to embrace our minutes and our hours. We need to live, to create memories and to take risks. But we also need to appreciate those days when we don't really do anything spectacular; our pyjama days, our lazy days...those rainy days when nothing really happens.

The aim of this blog is to help you realise that everyday does, in fact, have a hidden gift just laying in wait for us. And what do we have to do to discover it? It's simple: open your eyes, your mind and your heart. Understand that even the littlest, most insignificant details can brighten up your 24 hours. The song that pops up in your YouTube suggestions, the book that you've been meaning to read for so long, the awkward smile from a passer-by, the old photograph that you happen to stumble across...Gifts and presents just waiting to be opened. So unwrap them, see what's inside. It could be nothing, or it could be something magical.

Keep searching, because everyday is a new present.
