So often we find ourselves constantly busy, constantly working. We're unable to really hone in on some of the things that we experience in our lives. Things that make us feel happy-go-lucky, joyful, content, or at peace. We forget how important it is to take a step back from tasks and to-do lists and just be. Be silent, be still, be all here. Enjoy the little things, free things, weird things, and sweet things.
