Life's Little Treasures

You know life is filled with "little treasures" that can make you smile.  Just the other day, I was sitting at my kitchen table just listening.  My two daughters were in one room, while my two little grand-daughters were sitting in another room on the opposite end of the house.  

My daughters were laughing and just enjoying being together and remembering old times.  And I could hear the grandbabies in the other room just laughing and playing.  I just sat there and listened. It was peaceful; it was rewarding.  To just stop for a minute and cherish their laughter, their lives. 

They are all so important to me, and I love them dearly.  But so many times, life gets too busy for us to just stop and "smell the roses".  In all my life, I think this was one of the nicest moments I've ever had - just listening to the four of them - and feeling true happiness and contentment. 

So I ask you to just take a little time each day to just stop and listen.  You might be surprised at what you hear.
