joy in the little things

this week has been so good for me. no stress. no children. no worries. today as i drove to the chiropractor appointment no one in the office showed up for, i had lots of time to think and enjoy life. i was listening to music i haven't put in the cd player in ages. it's my "folks with guitars" mix. it had stuff i listened to back in middle school and high school repeatedly. of course i still knew all the words - how could i forget when i was disciplined to learn all of the words within the first week of owning a cd back then? oh to have that kind of time these days! it reminded me of the joy i had then and how much fun life was. every song somehow spoke to me, encouraged me, made me think, and got me smiling. along with my music, the sun was out and the grass if finally green again! i must suffer from seasonal affective disorder. the weather totally affects my mood. all in all...it was a good day. i have to remember to find joy in little things like green grass, good music and singing in the car. funny how several of the songs on my cd were about the "little things".
