We just returned from a holiday in Costa Rica. The land is lush, the beaches idyllic and the surf is great! The Ticos have a beautiful saying- La Pura Vida- The Pure Life. Many other cultures have similar phrases- La Dolce Vita in Italian- The Sweet Life, Carpe Diem- Seize the Day in Latin and the Aloha Spirit in Hawaii. I love this imperative to live life fully and completely, to suck the nectar out of every moment. When you are happy, you cast a vote in the Universal ballot box for more happiness.
FYI: Ticos have a longer life expectancy than Americans! Third World- Smird World.
