Mind, Body, and Soul
Appreciating the Small Things…
A flower, the colors in a rainbow, rain drops running down a window pane or falling gently into a puddle…these all evoke the simplicity and beauty of the earth as it surrounds us. How often do we stop to notice the subtle power in the opening of a flower or the amazing gift of the rain? All too often we’re busy, focused on our day-to-day routine and fail to notice the amazing gifts that life offers. However, it’s these little wonders of life that remind us of a greater power, a greater purpose and the joy of being alive.
A baby’s laugh or a smile from a stranger has the potential to evoke happiness on even the roughest of days. Simple gestures have the ability to affect change in others and in the world around us. We typically spend too much time absorbed in the daily grind of life and miss the beauty that surrounds us.
Let’s celebrate the many gifts that life offers….the great and the small. Next time you see a bird hovering in the tree, a bee perched on a flower or receive a smile from a passing stranger, stop and give a brief thought of appreciation for the beauty in this world and watch how your life transforms.
