A run that went well.
Seeing familiar faces at a big shopping centre.
My partner holding my hand.
Watching small children take in the world around them.
Discovering a smiley face on my soy iced latte.
I think sometimes I can get caught up in all the things I need to do.
What's on my to do list?
What problems do I need to fix today?
Which of the people I care about need my attention at the moment?
I feel like it's so easy for me to be focused on what I need to do that I sometimes forget to just be.
To be here now.
To be with the beauty and wonder and pleasures that are right in front of me.
It's amazing how one small gesture, like drawing a smile on the lid of a coffee, can shift an entire person's perspective.
So, to the barista I never met who made my coffee today, I'm grateful for them too =)
