The Little Things in Life

I've been talking to a good friend of mine today and it came to my attention that so many of us seem to pass through our daily lives without looking at the beautiful little things in our world.

Look outside right now. Seriously, just go look. Take in the beauty of this earth. Yep, it's probably kinda wet and muddy and gross, but man that sky... The sunset... The moon... The stars... We see these things every single day, but how often to we take in their beauty?

Think about your day today. How many people made you smile today? How many people did you make smile today? I bet you can't even count. Those smiles are things we see every day but we just pass by those smiles like they're nothing.

What about your favorite song, or a fresh T-shirt out of the laundry, or a funny twitter post, or watching today's new episode of that on TV show, or that squirrel that ran past you walking home from class, or that text message that made you blush, or passing room inspection, or being able to go outside without a coat, or even just being able to relax and not think about anything.

Fill your heart with the joy of the world that has been created for you. There are so many things, just look around.
