"For some people small, beautiful events are what life is all about." ~ The Doctor
Yes, that is a real honest to goodness Dr Who Quote from my non SciFi wife. Seriously, I am not even making this up. It goes one step further too. She was at a white elephant gift exchange last night and she got this great scarf. Wait for it... its a Tardus Scarf! She said that she opened it and knew right away I would love it. Now that is love... Tweew wuv!
I am willing to bet, when you look at your happiest memories they are of simple events. Things like that have great positive impact on your values. I am not talking about the bad things that frightened you... those have an entirely different effect. I am talking about the warm fuzzy moments. One of mine is of the lights on our Christmas tree when I was very young. They were the old school bigger lights that glowed softly as you watched them. I would fall asleep waiting for Santa, and my mother would carry me to my bed. Those simply beautiful moments are what the good life is made of for me.
I am sure you can remember some great stuff too. Like the first time you ever rode a bicycle, or your first puppy, or maybe that first kiss. Maybe it was something someone did for you. Like the first time some one thanked you for your work, or the first time some one winked at you, or that moment when someone fell completely in love with you. What ever the memory, it was likely something simple and beautiful.
Now here is your challenge... take a moment to offer a small but beautiful moment to others. Leave a thank you note, congratulate some one, offer a warm smile the mean old lady at the store. You will be pleasantly surprised how that tiny stone tossed in to the waters will make lovely ripples all around you. You can do it, I believe in you!
Have a great day folks!
