“Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.” - Kurt Vonnegut

There are days when it takes us a little longer to get going in the morning. As a result, we end up rushing through breakfast and briskly walking up the hill towards my daughter’s school. I don’t like rushing. It stresses me out and prevents me from enjoying life and my family.
There’s a spot on the floor that keeps staring at me.
I have a deadline for an article.
I need to pull those weeds on my lawn.
S’s reading log needs to be tallied and signed.
Pretty soon, I've allowed my “to do” list to drive me crazy, to the point where I have trouble sitting down to watch the entire length of a movie. I’m constantly making a mental “To Do” list and it’s never-ending.

It's those small snippets of life, the ones that make our hearts skip a beat, that we need to stop and enjoy. One of my favorite moments is watching my kids playing together in the backyard; I like to watch them invent games, splash in our "pool," and listen to their effervescent laughter rise upward like bubbles. I wish I could put it in a bottle and save it forever.
Life can be hectic! How do you make time to appreciate the small things?
