Stop And Smell The Flowers

So this morning I went grocery shopping for the next three days of lunches for the choir. As I am walking up and down the isles of a nearly empty store, I find myself completely enjoying myself. There I am piling loads of fruit, bread, and lunch meat into the cart as I listen to the mellow music that is playing in the store; and I realize how much I miss doing normal things such as going and buying food. So as I am taking my stroll with my loaded cart up and down the store, I start to realize how busy I get and then forget to take pleasure in the little things in life. Our society gets so wound up with work that we forget to sit back and smell the flowers. And by consuming our lives with our work and social live of moving here and there, we are robbing ourselves of simply enjoying living. So my revelation for the day is stop and enjoy the grocery shopping, don't always run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Even if you have a lot to do, take one thing at a time and enjoy what you are doing. Take pleasure in the little things, because it is all the little things that make the big picture of life.
