The Little things.....Random Randomness

I realize in this world there are so many things out there. Every day, businesses are selling something new. Something new in fashion, the latest technology, or the latest new model car. There are so many things that are constantly being presented to us, we get excited, and try to buy the hottest new item that we think will make us more attractive or feel better. We sometimes think the bigger the house, the fancier the car, the bigger the bank account, the happier we will be.

Whenever I need to see things a little more clearly, I simply look at nature. I see how grateful animals are for the little things. Birds singing in the morning lets me know they are here with no worries, singing their song of life. Cows mooing in the afternoon lets me know they are alive, no worries, grazing on the beautiful grass. These are the little things that say to me, wow they have the secret to happiness!

Things like a new car, new house, and new money are great, but only have a temporary time before the newness wears off. When buying a new car and smelling the newness of it, its great, but how long does the newness last? You might have an old beat up "hooptie", but just being grateful that you own it, and still have a means of transportation, makes you want to clean it, and maintain it as if it were a new Porsche or Lamborghini. By simply appreciating what you have, it only makes you one step closer to the richness for you that's simple and free, Inner peace.
