Today, I choose awareness. I choose to be aware of the beauty of life and living. I choose to be aware of the simple pleasures in life. I choose awareness of joy, awareness of peace, and awareness of love.

In these challenging times we are experiencing together or apart, many of us have come to an awakening about what is really important. No matter what is happening ‘out there’ one thing we slowly begin to realize it’s the little things in life that give us the most joy.

Most of us go through the day on automatic pilot. As an example, we can be ‘out to lunch’ while eating lunch! The first step is the awareness that we’re not being present in the moment.

It’s Important to Savor Simple Pleasures
