I love this quote from the book Simple Abundance: "What is missing from many of our days is a true sense that we are enjoying the lives we are living. It is difficult to experience moments of happiness if we are not aware of what it is we genuinely love. We must learn to savor small, authentic moments that bring us contentment."
Children have learned this lesson. I think as we get older we forget it.
On a recent outing with my granddaughter, I had to smile when I saw how she found joy in something as simple as pine needles in a cup.
This week I'm going to follow Brianna's example and make time to notice the simple things around me that bring me joy. Gonna be a good week.
She is so cute! That book sounds great too, can't wait to read it!
