People often think of grand achievements or significant milestones when talking about moments that are special in their life. Surely, defining moments of your life deserved to be called special. But what about the little things in life? What about the finer points of daily living? Don’t you think there are many less obvious things that come our way in smaller and subtler ways that are special too? Moments that warm your heart, or make you say to yourself “Hey, I feel so alive!” or simply… moments that make life just a bit more fun. Here are some of mine, in no particular order or sequence:
1. Watching the sun set
2. The sound of raindrops
3. The fresh breeze of the ocean
4. The cool air of the mountains
5. Fresh baked bread / cookies / pastries
