The Simple Things in Life…

IMG_4463

are often the best. So often I’m so busy that I forget to take time to notice all of the little things around me. The sunshine on the leaves. The bunnies outside of my window. The smell of dinner cooking. The building blocks of life are the often overlooked pieces of your day, that you often pass over without a second thought.

But think about it for a moment.

It’s often the little things that people do for you that make such a difference. Like the little note in your mailbox from a dear friend or when your apartment-mate washes your dishes for you.

Why do the little things make such a difference in the big picture of life? Maybe because they’re the important things. Granted, your job, homework, and that huge report due next week need to be done. But there is so much more to life than those things. Imagine your life without all those simple things in it. It would be a pretty bleak life.

So take a moment to smell the roses today. Delight in all the little gifts that you’ve been given, and give some to those around you. Because it’s the simple things in life that sometimes mean the most.
