The Simple Things

It's important to stop and appreciate the simple things in our lives.  Over the past couple of months I've really learned to appreciate the comfort of rambling, inane conversations with friends, the beauty of warm rainy days, the strength (and loneliness) found in solitude, the freedom of honesty, and the sting of rejection.  It's the simple things that make everything else worth while  and we just need to remember that when things feel like they're spiralling out of our control.

There are hundreds of quotes that I could put here for inspiration, but there is one that I came across this past week that I haven't been able to get out of my head.  We've already established that I'm a bit of a control freak, I can't stop myself from meddling, and basically am a bit to focused on everyone else's lives.  There are hundreds of quotes that I could use to sum this all up, but there is one that I found this past week that has stuck with me.  It's a matter of remembering, while it's important to look forward at the big picture, life is about the moments, big and small, on the journey that we'll remember in the end.

but you can do something about it's width and depth."
