"Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders,these twists & turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours,These small hours still remain..."
I love this song from Rob Thomas, I think it fully embraces one of my favorite things in life: know knowing and appreciating the little things in life. I really feel that a lot of times, it's the small things that can make the biggest impact in one's life, and sadly enough, it's often the things we take for granted the most. When I was in Boise and things felt rough or those "twists and turns of fate" would throw blows at me, I used to drive up to table rock (or area's by that also over-looked the city) when the sun was setting and stars were coming out to think and put things back into perspective. I remember being just in awe of the sight as the sun slowly dipped into the earth and the night city would come alive with the stars making their twinkly appearance above. As I sat there, it always made me realize how big the world is and in the grand scheme of things, how small my problems could be and it just brought a real calming peace to my heart. For that simple short time the world was simply beautiful and I felt like I was in my own little version of nirvana.
Those simple little moments are so easy to take for granted and I promised myself a long time ago to look and appreciate those little things in life. With all the negativity and down-bringing in the world that we need those times to help us refocus and bring that calm and peace. Sometimes I get it and other I take it for granted, but I love the reminders to appreciate and embrace them.
This comes about as I'm thinking of a few special people and the events in their lives. These people are very special to me and I hope that in their time of hardship, they can find their small hours of wonder and for that moment, they feel love, passion and life in a more beautiful way and it will be encouraging to them and help them move forward.
I love you all and I wanted you to know that I do think of those small hours and simply beautiful times with you! Please stay the beautiful, wonderful people you are!
Live, Laugh, Love.
