It's the little things

Wow the last few days have flown past in a blur. You know when you are so busy that going on Facebook is a treat, well that was me. But being busy is awesome. Take it from the worlds best procrastinator that the busier you are the more you get done.

What I have realised in the busyness that has consumed my life is that it is the small moments of calm, laughter, gratitude, and moments where things go right, that get you through even the most hectic days.

These moments in my life: eating peppermint tart at 9pm, playing 30 Seconds while drinking filter coffee, my friend lending me her car so that I could run all my errands and then sitting around a fire enjoying the company of special people.

For many this may seem average and unexciting, but what would life be without these small moments. Our world is crazy and everyone lives in their own little bubble focusing on everything that they have to get done. Take a look around you, appreciate the people in your lives and the opportunities you have been granted to do so many different things and then perhaps being busy won't be so bad.

And then when you can finally take a breath and just relax, cherish those moments before it all starts again.
