Simple pleasures bring a smile to your face: the beauty of a flower … a pair of lovers embracing … the playfulness of a puppy … All of these are so-called mundane sights, yet are they not in their own way, highlights in your life? This is because they highlight what is most important: beauty, connection, and love.
Did you know that you live for these moments? We do mean this in the most literal sense. You live to experience beauty and love. Do not bypass these moments. Actively seek them out. Pay attention to the world of love and beauty around you as you go about your day. Even in the midst of seeming chaos, these simple pleasures will stand out as if highlighted when you make a concerted effort to look for them. As we said, they are indeed highlighted as the highlights they are. Pay attention and fill your life with pleasure.
Thank you, Sanaya, for the reminder of the "highlights in my life." Beauty... connection... love... I felt them all this morning, and I am filled with gratitude.

ReplyDeleteso opening our eyes and drinking in the beauty of what at times seems routine truly enhances our lives. I am filled with gratitude for the simple joys of my day.
Yes, I will make a concerted effort to seek out the moments of love and beauty in my day. Wouldn't our world be more peaceful and loving if the media focused on love and beauty rather than every negative moment they can find!
