Where do you look for inspiration?
When I take time to look at my life, I have so many blessings. I wouldn’t consider myself different from most people. Each day I wake up and go to work, come home and play with my pets, see my partner, find some way to entertain myself and go to bed. It would be real easy to get caught up in a routine if I let myself. What keeps me going is noticing the little things. When I stepped out of the house this morning, I noticed the first buds on my jalapeno plants, I observed that my pool which has been giving me grief for the last 6 months was finally clear, I saw several birds flying in formation without running in to each other (the fact that they are able to do that has always been mind-blowing to me), and the list goes on and on. In other words, I noticed all the details going on around me that most people take for granted.
Yes it would be easy to let my life become mundane, but I prevent it by noticing all those little details.When you find your life becoming predictable, boring, and monotonous, take a moment to look around you at all the beauty that exists in the world and realize how blessed you are to be a witness to all of God’s little miracles.
