Enjoying the little things

I just love it when I get a chance to enjoy the little things in life. Waking up in a warm bed with my favorite stuffed animals rubbing the sleep out of their eyes. (okay, this might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but I'm claiming poetic license here...) Calm, quiet. Yogurt enjoyed with a small spoon. Banana with peanut butter. Eating in front of my computer while listening to soundtrack music of the Lord of the Rings grandeur scale. Finally getting to the post office to mail a Christmas present to a friend that I'd bought way back when. Sense of accomplishment, y'all. Feeling the warmth of the sun as I stick to my tradition of leaving my jacket at home and face the cold head on. Driving through the heart of a little town at 22 mph with a glorious view of the mountains. Enjoying the fact that everyone else is quite willing to drive at 20 mph, especially with the cop keeping watch on the side of the road. Slowing down enough to reflect on how much I enjoy these little things.
