What is missing....


....from many of our days is a true
sense of enjoying the life we're living.

filling up at an old pump

Savor the small, authentic moments that 
that make you smile...
and simple pleasures that often get overlooked.

notes...

an unexpected refund, 
a flatbed full of pumpkins
& sunflowers
pulling up to fill the tank at an old gas pump...
sharing a story with my kiddo...and laughing over the phone
enjoying the simple things....


embrace moments of happiness that are
uniquely your own

you can spot God's gifts all 
around you

be aware of the little things
that bring a smile to your face

keep a list of what triggers delight
your day

stop thinking that things outside of 
your control are going to make you happy

happiness that can't be taken away 
grows in your soul
be willing to pursue it

commit to making it a personal
priority in your life

hunt for small surprises
in the midst of the mundane

realize the value of a minute
and how precious the seconds of 
your life are
protect your time
and how you spend it

you have a life to live
one that has purpose and meaning

daily meaning is important as daily bread

be well...

"Every time you make a choice you are turning
the central part of you, the part that chooses, 
into something a little different from what it was before.
And taking your life as a whole, 
with all your innumerable choices, all your life
you are slowly turning this central thing into either
a heavenly creature
or a hellish creature."

~C.S. Lewis~

"I compare the pursuit of happiness
to a day of fishing--
it helps if you stock the pond."

"Perhaps if one knew when one was happy
one would know the things that were
necessary for one's life."
