I started writing on one subject today, then I got news that really made my blog post seem rather trivial. So, what I'd rather talk about is another of my favorite blogs, 1000 Awesome Things. It's all about those little things in life that make you smile, like a snowy day, when a friend calls to say they got home safely, when you can hear the train coming into the station. Bet you were smiling just reading that list. Sometimes, we're so busy getting through the day, the week or the month, that we focus on what we need to do and what's gone wrong. We completely miss all those little things that make life worth living: the smell of chocolate chip cookies, a puppy nose in your face when you wake up, the wonder of a small child who really believes that the just-poured foundation for a house addition really could be a swimming pool. Life is too short and uncertain not to enjoy its pleasures. Take a breath and a minute just to enjoy being.
