The realization that life really is about the little things is a wonderful piece of knowledge to possess. I've been thinking about this oft uttered life truth recently, and I cannot help but believe that we know it to be true when we are born, but due to expectations, pressures and demands of the world, we let it slip
away.
Some don't let it slip away as much as others, but for both the good news is, we can reclaim the knowledge of this life floatation device if we choose to search for it. The analogy to a life preserver is a fair one as it is the realization that the little things make the grandest difference in the quality of our lives that wakes
us up, helps us put things in perspective and reveals to us that life is indeed available to us to make of it what we want.
I find that each year when the new school session begins, it is the simple routines, the opportunities to sit with my hot cup of tea, walk with the dogs and lose track of time with a good book or magazine, that bring
me the most joy. And it is in these moments that I breathe and remind myself that life is going just fine so long as we protect the little everyday rituals, routines and savor them as often as we can.
I hope the month of September treated you well. I can hardly believe that October is about to begin, but I am excited as big changes are
coming that will I hope will provide an improved experience to you the readers of TSLL blog.
