Most days we trudge through our day, doing everything basically through rote memory. We don't even think about the things we do or say; or even the things we see regularly.
We wake up and brush our teeth, get dressed and drive to work. We go about our day without thought about the different sights, sounds, or smells that may even just be "the usual" stuff.
Lately, I've been trying to really see, hear and feel the beauty in life that I feel like I had been neglecting. The beauty and happiness that lies right in front of me everyday that I so often just looked right past. Despite the mundane. Despite any perceived or actual negativity that may be around me. I have been determined to actively look for that beauty and find that happiness.
NOTICING THE BEAUTY
I started by making a point to NOTICE more of the beauty that surrounds me. I looked at the large tree in my backyard more closely. Noticing the aging bark and wondering how this old tree keeps such strength and fortitude throughout so many years. I sat outside and took in the scent of fresh cut grass as my neighbor mowed their lawn; rather than grumble at the noise of the lawn mower. I listened with awe and a new found wonder at the music of the cicada bugs in the evening.
I encourage you to take the time to really notice the beauty in things today. Look for the happiness among the mundane. And I encourage you to share how this makes a difference in your life!
