STOP

Take Your Time

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 days ago • 1 min read
Enjoy Them!

“Happiness

is enjoying

the little things in life.”

We know this well

but are, very often, too busy

to remember it.

Along with happiness is gratitude.

To be happy and grateful

for what and who we have in our lives

means

that we appreciate our lives.

This helps us

to cultivate contentment within our lives.

Practicing mindfulness every day,

by living in the moment,

is a good way

of being happy with the little things in our lives.

Take your time

when having that hot drink to warm you up.

Enjoy the warmth, the smell and the taste.

A walk is a good way to exercise,

not just the body but also the mind.

Listen to the sounds around you,

the birds singing,

the dog barking,

the simple “Good Morning” when we pass someone.

These are small but normal things

that tell us that life is good.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
