Taking Pleasure in the Simple Things That Come into Our Lives

When you are out & about, notice:

the trees & shrubbery you walk past, the flowers planted by the sidewalks

the colorful yards, landscapes that some people have put together

the creatively-painted vehicles on the street

the clothing people wear, their hair styles

window displays--both retail & residential

children

the cracks on the sidewalk

facial expressions

smells & tastes

laughter & playfulness

acts of kindness & generosity

murals

creativity

fear ….. anxiety

the weather: rain, clouds, mist, the sun, the sky

the accessories some people create

personal “styles”

color

pain

people greeting one another with joy & reassurance

expressions of surprise & happiness

song(s), the music in your heart

acts of courtesy & of integrity

We all get sooo busy: trying to do so much for ourselves & our families & in the process we stop paying attention, we stop looking. Look again at the list above & see what might be fun to notice! All of this is around us all of the time.
