Small Things

How often do you take the time to stop and consider the smaller things in life?

A smile from a stranger as you pass on the street. A ladybug making its way across the hood of your car. The laugh of an unseen child heard across the backyard fence.

It's amazing what we can observe when we can take time out of our busy lives to stop, look, and listen. In that moment of observation, if we take the time to let everything else in our lives slide out of consciousness and just focus on these things, even for a split second, we can relax.

In that moment in time there are no bills to pay, no bosses demanding more of us, no deadlines to meet. There is only the small joys of the world.

Sometimes its the smallest of things that allow us to feel peaceful.
