Appreciating the Little Things

Instead of waiting for big, monumental things to happen in life, sometimes it's better to just focus on the little things. Simple things that you might ordinarily overlook. A quiet moment, a cup of coffee, a conversation with a friend, a gorgeous sunset, a new book, an old book, a kind word from a stranger, and the list goes on...

Learning to have gratitude for the people in our lives, the abilities we have, the opportunities to learn more, the chance to wake up each day and start anew are all "things" that cost nothing, but mean so much. Free, yet so powerful and rich.

Choosing to love the little tidbits of life (that when pieced together make it all so brilliant) can change your perspective in a big way.

Notice.
Appreciate.
Learn.
Love.
Live.
