It's the Simple Things

Sometimes I think we get to caught up in the big picture.

 

We are constantly caught up in the hustle and bustle of the world around us. Rushing to and from work, picking up and dropping kids off from various activities, errands-the dry cleaner, the supermarket, and various other tasks that seem to suck away all of our time; leaving us frazzled and stressed.

Isn't it really the simple things in life that really make it beautiful?

Catching that warm ray of light and getting lost in it.

When a warm summer breeze catches your hair just right.

 A new pair of shoes.

A new twirly dress that makes you feel like a kid again.

Doing something crazy with a few good friends.

Getting caught in a fit of laughter.

 Time with a good book.

Falling in love.

The love of a good pet.

Cuddling with children. (honorary nieces and nephews for me!)

First kisses...

... and kisses for the rest of your life.

I recommend the next time you catch yourself in a simple moment-let go of the complexity of the rest of your life.  Just enjoy it.  If you do, you'll live longer.
