The Little Things

Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day routine of our lives that we forget about the little things. And aren’t those the things that matter the most? Like when you are just relaxing outside and a little lady bug flies in and lands beside you? Or have you ever had a moment where your gaze is instantly interrupted by a carefree butterfly, meandering through the air to land where she sees fit. It’s beautiful to watch the little moments of nature and life happening right before you. Often we can be so busy or so immersed in what we are doing that we forget to look up and take note of what is happening around us.

We are a technology driven species, it is clear. In fact, if do get the opportunity to glance up while you are outside surrounded by people, take a look at how many of them are deeply concentrating on their cell phones, so involved in what’s going on in that little screen that they are literally walking one foot in front of the other and that’s it. We encourage all of our readers to take a moment to break away from the many computer screens and paperwork that makes up our day and actually take a moment to appreciate what’s going on around you. Again, it’s the little things that matter the most.

Surely there will be something simple and yet fascinating to capture your attention. We’ve listed 10 examples of some items you should see if you can find. They are sure to make you smile. Or, be sure to comment and leave behind your “little things” moment.

• A child with colorful rain boots splashing in puddles
• A family of ducks flying in the perfect “V” formation
• A woman planting flowers outside her home
• After a gentle rain, the clouds part and there is a rainbow
• A favorite song from your youth playing on the radio
• The clouds in the sky taking on a familiar shape
• Noticing the stars on a night sky and how far away they are
• A gentle breeze and a familiar scent in the air
• The warm embrace of a friend you’re excited to see
• The wind picking up leaves and carrying them to a new destination.

Happy thoughts to all our readers and a friendly reminder to remember the little things. They are happening all around you!

   It’s funny that I came across this post today. I was just looking at my garden this morning and thinking about how nice it is to free your mind and just focus on nature. Gardening lets me do that.

   I guess this is one of those law of attraction examples

   All of the things on that list are such warm suggestions, including the one that actually talks about a warm embrace. This is the essence of life!
