The Little Things in Life

It's pouring raining in Southern California right now and as a 27-year-old adult, this should not be any surprise on my part as I have witnessed the occasion thousands of times.   What surprised me most is I am enjoying every minute of it and going out in the porch to observe the precipitation seems all right entertaining.  Like many kids, raining means no physical education class and recess, this means staying in door and watching the teacher picked-out movies or playing Heads Up Seven Up game with thirty other students in the classroom.  The thought of getting soaked in the rain was definitely not on my to-do list.

Today, I adopted a new perspective. Watching the heavy down pour deems entertaining and worth all of my time. As an adult, I should be enjoying adult things, such as going to the movies, hanging out with friends, trying out the new restaurants in the neighborhood, etc.  I do still find delight in those normal human activities but there is something about those millions of water drops that are enticing and even addictive enough to take my eyes away. Maybe I have grew out of my inability to enjoy the little things in life. Maybe I have changed the way I see life. Maybe I have grown up, maybe I finally learned how to accept life for what it really is and enjoy every moment of it.  Maybe.. for whatever reason it is it feels darn good to relish and embrace the natural part of mother nature.  Maybe that's what true happiness, maybe true happiness lies not on what we have and not have, maybe true happiness is being able to enjoy what life throws at you, no matter what it is.
