Today’s papers are filled with the news about Eva Rausing who was found murdered in her mansion in London. Her husband, Hans Kristian Rausing, was arrested for possession of drugs and might be charge with the crime. The couple met in a rehab center years before. They were among the richest people on earth.

When my kids were little, they used to ask me, “Are we rich?” I’d say, “We’re rich in happiness.”

We often compare our lives to those that seem more glamourous. The lesson is that we all have our private sorrows. Life takes its toll on all of us.

Just for today, how can we feel rich? We can remember to appreciate the abundance of all that we have.
