It's the little things in life. The way the sun sets over the hills, the smile of a friend, or the crash of the waves. It's the little things that make this entire crazy ride enjoyable. Spontaneity makes me happy. So does a mug of peppermint tea. I think sometimes we need to slow down for a minute and actually take in the miracle that is life, soak it up like a beached sea-sponge, and return to being full and content. I know it's been said, "Stop and smell the roses", but I say, "Smell everything!" We get so busy running around doing what we think we "need" to do, that we forget to leave time for the things that are truly important. We run ourselves ragged, for what? I definitely believe in being responsible and doing your best, but sometimes the Important needs to come before the Urgent. This week I was able to spend some time rejuvenating, having dinner with friends, going antiquing, and mud-caving. It reinvigorated me, allowing me to attack the last month of the semester with renewed gusto and zeal. So here's to the adventure that is life. As the great poets once said, "Carpe Diem!"
