Today I watched my daughter open the bottom drawer in our kitchen to slowly pull out the objects, one by one. She enjoyed inspecting each item, playing with it, and then putting it in her mouth to explore it further. It reminded me of something very important, to treasure the small moments.
She is not thinking about what has happened in the past, or what will come in the future. She is simply enjoying living in the moment. For her happiness is right now.
It is important to hold onto those small moments as they happen, because truly all we really have is right now. Live in the moment, enjoy it. Even the smallest of people have the ability to teach love, and create joy for those around them.
Now with the birth of my second child I have learned how truly special those little moments are, because they are not here for long. I believe this knowledge has helped me to slow down and appreciate those moments when they happen, even more than the first time around. When you are in a moment that makes you smile, take a deep breath, slow down and remember to enjoy it.
What special moments make you smile?
