They are the everyday aspects of our lives that bring us the most joy, even if
at first it may seem natural to expect our feelings of happiness to come from
the larger events in our lives. By noticing how small things can fill our days
with delight, we are more likely to experience the wonder of living. Once we
take the time to look around and witness the beauty, kindness, and laughter
that envelop us, what may seem like the ordinariness of the everyday becomes
filled with the extraordinary detail of each individual moment. If we bring this
sense of awareness to our lives for even a few minutes each day, we will begin
to see just how blessed we truly are.
Beholding the joy that surrounds us may initially seem easy, but for some it
can take a conscious effort to make it a part of a daily routine. When you
awake in the morning and set the intention to notice more joy in the world,
watch how your day and, eventually, your life are filled with more joy. The
more we do this the more apt we will be to notice the sounds of children
laughing or the sparkle of dewdrops on a flower petal. Allow this joy to fill
your heart fully, and from there it will naturally expand to your entire body
and then spread to others, giving them joy as well.
Taking in the small joys of each day expands our feeling of being connected
with the world, especially once we become more attuned to them. With each
passing day, we will find that these small delights, which bring a deeper level
of appreciation for everything the universe has given to our lives, are
miracles.
