One of the most relaxing things in life for me is stopping to enjoy the little things. As hectic as my world is and as always on the go I am with projects and RUF and symphony and all the other things that I fill up my life with, it's easy for me to get wrapped up in committments, but if I ever ever ever get to the point where I do not have the time to stop to pet a puppy and talk with its owner for a few minutes, my life is in serious need of a readjustment. I'd like to think that I am not so wrapped up in business to enjoy these things, but sometimes I lose focus (enter: last semester) But anyway, some of the little things that make me happy:
-Writing letters to my friends
-Petting puppies and talking with the owner for a few minutes
-Telling workers and restaurants or retail stores to have a good day before they say it to
me
-The Denver Public Library and the opportunity for learning that is holds
-The apartment building near the library that I am going to live in someday
-Coffee Shops that have book discussions that I can overhear
-The people sitting next to me at the coffee shop talking about anything and everything
-The Toddler that just walked into the coffee shop, because he's wearing shoes that
squeak like a doggie chew toy, probably so his mother knows where he is at all times.
-Finding new unique stores that I can visit regularly enough that the employees know me
-Meeting strangers and finding out about their lives
-Talking with old people about their lives
-Working at the hospital and doing my best to make other's days better, even if it is just
by helping them open their fruit cup or delivering an edible meal.
-Stopping to admire and smell the flowers
-The Perfect Petal flower shop which is quite possibly the best place in Denver to stop and
smell the roses, and any other flowers you can imagine
-playing the piano (even though I suck)
-Playing the cello (I don't suck quite as bad as I do at the piano)
-Eating at new restaurants- especially ones with crazy food
-Trying new things at least once so I can confidently make a decision without any biases
-The towel rack in my house in directly in line with the vent, so the towels are warm
when you step out of the shower
-Dreaming and imagining what sort of places I'll end up at
-Reading classic books
-Listening to live music- especially jazz and blues
-Basking in the sun's warmth and just soaking up the goodness
-Picturing myself basking in the sun's warmth and just soaking up the goodness while I'm
at the beach in Texas tomorrow!!!
Well, folks I'm leaving for Corpus Christi tomorrow at 5:00 am, early morning, but I will be in Texas by 9:00 I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of your spring break and enjoy it while it lasts!
