THOSE LITTLE THINGS...

... that make life more bearable and worth living.

Music Love 1 bis
They are the little nothings that color my life, bring a smile on my face, make me happy, give me energy, feed my inner child and nourish my soul. No matter how messed up your life might seem or be, there is always pleasure hidden within the details. You just have to open your eyes, heart and soul in order to start seeing them. You'll soon realize that they are to be found everywhere, even in the most simple things.

If you are able to appreciate the little things in life and not take them for granted, then you'll enjoy the bigger things even more and you'll never forget to be thankful for what you have.

  22. Rosa...as I've suspected all along...you are a very old soul who feels deeper than many. The lows must be terrible and the highs must be ectasy. Thankfully you found a mid point at which happiness can be appreciated in the little blessings ;o)

    Have a fabulous weekend,
    Claudia
