"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." Robert Brault
This morning, I drove off in a hurry…. I was irritated by the Monday morning alarm, the dog wouldn’t cooperate for his medicine, an egg hit the floor. Not a great morning, and not in a great mood. As I drove down the hill and rounded the corner, I was struck by the view of the valley before me. The morning sun was shining on the mountains in the distance, the grass and leaves were shiny with dew, the air was so still, and just the newness of the day was all so beautiful. I had to actually stop the car to take it all in for a moment.
And in that moment, my whole day changed. I completely forgot about how I thought my morning had been going and was reminded of and so grateful for how amazing my life is.
Sometimes I get bogged down by all the things I have to remember and do, and forget to take just that moment to enjoy the things that bring me joy. When I take that moment, it changes my day, and that changes my life.
