Oh, How the simple things in life matter the most

I know that I've been gone for sometime now and I haven't updated my blog post, but know that I haven't forgotten about you. I've been trying to find some inspiration myself, which I believe we all have to stop to hear what life is trying to tell us. We can't give if we don't have anything in our cup to give to others with love. No individual should walk around feeling guilty for taking a second to just breathe and refill. Taking good care of yourself first is key!

I am creating this post to share with you the thing that came to me yesterday while driving. With my music going, the sun shining and the wind blowing through my natural hair; I started to realize how the simple things in life seemed to be trivial to us. How our perception about life has been tainted by society for so long that we can't seem to recognize what's important. We forget about spending time with family and friends, and even spending time with ourselves. Though most of us give our loved ones our time; we forget to take it all in with love and appreciation.

Doing something as simple as calling up an old friend to check-in with them to see how their doing. Taking a moment to sit outside on a sunny day with appreciation for another day. Doing everything with appreciation is far different from just doing it without good intent. You show appreciation deep within your heart, which is communication with God. Let God know you appreciate what has been given to you in this life. The simple things shouldn't be overlooked or underappreciated.

The material things in this world has blinded us from being able to see that true importance rest in things that can't be bought. Sadly, the media doesn't promote things that can't be bought the way that they should. Money seems to be the end goal for everyone with everything else being last on the list. Health is what seems to be taken for granted, but not just physical health, mental health is what we believe we'll always have....not true for everyone. Some of us will put our health last, and see results in the long run that we never thought we would see because we didn't appreciate it.

As you go through life keep the simple things close to your heart!
