Reflection

How much of our life is spent taking advantage of the little moments? That's all life really is, an assortment and collection of little moments that all make it significant. I wished I remembered more of the little moments of everday life. I think it is easy to forget why each day is precious. Each day is precious. As corny as that sounds. I think most often times i get caught up in the day to day events and forget to just take time to appreciate the little things. Sometimes when i am riding the bus in the morning to school or work i remember. The sun rise reminds me, or a friendly interaction with another passenger, usually a rare occasion. At one point there was a musician who would always play his flute in the bus tunnel. For a month or so in the summer time I would see him. Every encounter was pleasant and something about his cheerful hello or upbeat tune would make my day. I miss those days. I miss the days where I remembered to appreciate. I hope this reflection causes them to return soon.

It is sad that we as a society are so much about speed and efficiency. What's worse, our memories are far from perfect too. But you are right, it is the small things in life, that despite their size, hold such significance and bring back the true appreciation to all the moments in our lives. Great entry.
