Enjoy the little things in life. Some days it is hard to get out of bed. But, you have to wake up every morning with a smile on your face because you woke up that morning. Don’t take for granted the day that lies ahead because it might be the last one you have.
You must stop to smell the flowers some days and just breathe a breath of fresh air. Breathe in the smell of summer or feel the coldness of the first winter air. Hear the brittle, dry autumn leaves crunch under your boots. Savor in the sun kissing your cheeks and you smile at it in delight. The joy of someone jumping in puddles after a long stormy day. The sound of squeaky shoes after the rain has stopped.
Experience the breeze blowing your hair back from your forehead. Or the air pressing against your hand that is dancing out the window. Get pleasure from sitting under the moonlit sky full of twinkling stars. Delight in a child’s silly giggle. Relish in your favorite, comfy old t-shirt from years before. Enjoy the company of your best friend or your FaceTime dates that never get old. Nestle into you cool, soft pillow that has been waiting for you to cuddle with all day. Enjoy the feeling of snuggling with a sleepy puppy that licks your face every so often. Engulf yourself in the clean smell of a newborn baby.
Feel the chapstick gliding softly over your sun-dried lips after a long day under the sun. The smell of fresh cut grass as your open your sliding glass door. The excited barking of your dogs as you try to get in your locked door. The sound of a crackly camp fire that warms you up. The first sight of snowflakes gliding down the sky. Feel the strong bear-like hug your friend gives you after a long time apart. The smell of seashore as you drive through the bay. The sight of a lucky, ladybug. Enjoy a war story from an older soul. Enjoy their stories of love that lasted a lifetime and more. Light a candle and bake in its glow.
Imagine your lips caressing the last nibble of chocolate. Sip at an ice cold glass of lemonade. The smell of fresh cut fruit. The perfectly toasted marshmallow that slides down the stick filled with gooey goodness. Enjoy the last crisp chip in the bag.
Learn to enjoy all of the little things that we do not think much about in the first place. Replace the negative thoughts with thoughts of simplicity that is pure. Take time to rejuvenate your soul. Live every moment to the fullest. Fulfill your potential. Reach out for any dreams that seem so far away. Don’t get engulf with life’s busy moment that you forget to enjoy the journey.
