As I sit and look out at the snow, I still enjoy seeing it. Somehow every year it still seems new and exciting. A friend posted on her Facebook status something along the lines of "It's just friggin' snow, people. Get over it, you've seen it before." While, to some degree, I understand where she was coming from with this, it made me think about the general passage of time throughout a life course of a person.
At what point do things like the first big snowfall or the first shorts-worthy spring day lose their thrill, or do they ever?
It's so important not to take the little joys in life for granted. We can make each day new and exciting even if it's the same as the 5, 10, 20, 50 years before, because we can always look at in in a new way. In relationships, we are constantly building upon the history we have established, making the meaning of each cup of coffee, dinner and a movie, or call on the phone worth more than its face value.
I hope you all can continue to find the little happinesses around you each and every day.
