Slow Down

Hey! So, this is my first post. I wanted to create some sort of "theme" for my blog, but figured I would just blog about the fun, crazy, interesting, random things that happen in my life! A while ago I read "Eat Pray Love"... amazing! I suggest for everyone to go read it. Well, anyway in the book she mentions that she keeps a journal everyday of something special that happened that made her smile! So I will try to do the same everyday here on my blog. Today it was just a really simple thing... I was rushing to get to my car too busy to look at the world around me and just as I was about to climb into my car I noticed these beautiful flowers that had fallen from the tree above! Something so simple helped me realize I needed to slow down and just enjoy life!

I never read this post. But I agree with you. How often do we really slow down to enjoy things?.... hardly ever.

Never read that book but I watched when the author was on Oprah both times. I loved that idea to journal about something that made her happy each day. It truly is the little things. Today I think it was when Hannah came up to me and hugged my legs all on her own without me asking for a hug or kiss. So sweet. I love how you slowed down to notice the beautiful flowers on your car. Great first post.
