I have missed the last two weeks of blogging and for that I do apologize. I have had a few things happen to me that have put my own thoughts and theories to a test. I can admit that my inner calm was jeopardized for a little while, but it all seems to be getting back to normal now and thats exactly where I need it to be. I went for a walk the other day and some things just came to me. This is what I like to refer to as The Heart of the Matter .......
The Heart of the Matter is that so often in life we are busy. We always seem to be in a rush and more time then not we do not stop to think about the things that make us truly happy. I was astounded by my findings when I actually took a step back and thought about the things that make me happy.
- a genuine conversation
- a warm embrace
- laughter
- a phone message from a friend saying they were thinking of me
- the sound of a friends voice 3000 miles away
- the smell of leaves that have fallen to the ground
- a smile
- the way a hand touches mine ......
It was the small things that mattered the most to me and made me happy, but for so long I was looking at a bigger picture and always in a rush never taking the time to notice the little things that in retrospect mean so very much to me. These things are not material, don't cost a thing and occur on a daily basis, except I was always too busy to notice. So I leave you with this blog and encourage you get down to the heart of the matter and figure out what it is that makes you happy. I can almost guarantee it will be the small things that matter to you the most ..... just don't be too busy to notice them .............
