Simple Things

I often think about values, what is important to me, things that I am looking for or things that I cherish. It's easy in life to get wrapped up in the big moments, to get caught up in the glamour and finer things that life can offer. A true judge of your happiness and satisfaction with your current situation, with your life, comes not from the fancy things. Life is not about the big moments, but the little ones. The truth is, if you can't enjoy the small moments of life, then the big ones just don't matter. A perfect weekend afternoon doesn't need to consist of an elaborate trip somewhere, or a fancy dinner... contentment in life can come from something as simple as an afternoon stroll around the neighborhood, talking, and holding hands. When I think about this one thought resonates soundly, life -as stated - is not about the material things, but the immaterial, it is the little moments shared with family, friends, and loved ones. Put simply, life is better when shared with others.

So now I ask you this, who are you sharing your little moments with? And do you look to the big glamourous events for your happiness, or do you look forward to the simplest moments that bring the biggest smiles to your face?
