Finding Joy in the Small and Mundane Things

If you want to find joy in the small things, you must make an effort to look. Taking delight in the mundane will never just fall into your lap. It isn't something just happens naturally... until it does.

I was reminded of this while talking to my best friend, Sam, on the phone. I was looking at my garden and I noticed that I had one snap pea that had fully grown. I was so excited. It looked so cute. I actually interrupted her and told her all about my adorable snap pea. We giggled and I sent her a picture because I thought it had the most perfect hat. Here is the picture I sent her:

Sam told me, that I have always been really good at noticing the small things. I forget that it didn't always come easy. There are so many small, simple pleasures that past us every day and it's such a shame that we miss out on most of them. However, we can try to catch a glimpse at one or two of them and we will be happier for it.
