A lunchtime smoothie enjoyed outdoors...now, that's what I call exciting!
Ever get excited over something that others might discount as being a tad bit minuscule? Like having plans to sip a berry
smoothie from a café table outdoors at lunchtime? That was me, yesterday morning. Working away, I’d occasionally pause to savor the bliss; just thinking about my upcoming mid-day foray.
In my book, Eternal Presents, I discuss the importance of “always having something on the
burner,” which is basically a laid-back
way to recommend consistently having dreams (large and small) before us. I have learned the importance of going out of my way to establish large and small dreams to look forward to. Often while engaging in an evening
journal writing session, I'll ask myself, “How can I make tomorrow
special?” Because, not each and
every day is spent relishing a treasured artist’s date, enjoying a vacation with
loved ones or standing center
stage while being awarded scads of accolades. Sometimes life is challenging. Occasionally, it's just shy of being mundane. My little doses of excitement—here and
there—those are what serve to transform it all, make everything more exhilarating and
sparkly.
Yes, my lunchtime berry smoothie, sipped outdoors, may not be majorly
exciting to some. It was to me,
though. And, that’s what truly
counts, right?
Joy & peace! T.
