THE LITTLE THINGS

Hi All,

 

You know, I've often said that it's the little things that make life worth living.  It seems that, for me, the most precious simplicity is truly the thing I value most.  On awakening to the sounds of birdsong and the sun rising, I thank God for allowing me another day to enjoy this magical event of life.  In the evening, when that big round moon sits high in the sky, and a myriad of stars twinkle, I am so incredibly grateful for the day that I have just experienced.  Or sometimes, just the smell of a freshly baked cake or the voice of a beloved one makes my heart sing and dance.

 

So, how can you learn to enjoy the little things in your life more?

 

Keep a Journal

 

Journaling is a wonderful way to capture those precious moments in which the little things brought you happiness.  Write them down in detail, and then you'll be more apt to enjoy and cherish them more when they occur the next time.

 

Stop and and Think

 

When one of those beloved "little things" occurs to make you happy, stop and think about it for a moment.  Allow yourself a moment to truly enjoy it, indulge in it, and, of course, be thankful for it!

 

Share with Others

 

Share those special little things with others you love.  If you're with a friend, and hear a lilting bird's song, share that with your loved one by enjoying it together.  Often, the reaction of others to life's simple pleasures endears them to us all the more!

 

I wish you a day in which you notice, share and cherish all the little things!

 

Namaste!

It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every
flower Is to bloom.
