I’ve said this over and over again because I believe it to be true most of our enjoyment in life comes from the little things we do. Little moments…little adventures…little wonders that somehow find a way to enter into our lives…and brighten up our day. Like moments found by two thin blooded Floridians…both over 65 years old on a recent camping trip together…when the weather outside turned cold. They bundled up and took a boat ride… they listened to what the captain had to teach they saw a fort that was built but never used and watched wild horses running on a beach. They ate the best clam chowder and crab cakes they had ever been served and they handed the waitress who served them a tip she so rightly deserved. They stood on the edge of the Atlantic ocean while a flock of birds circled overhead they tried the Pirate punch in the oldest bar in Florida and watched as their cheeks turned red. They watched three sunrises and sunsets They saw a family of dolphins perform… they found when you hold hands even if it’s freezing outside inside you feel warm. These little moments…little adventures…little wonders somehow found a way to enter into their lives…and brighten up their day. Thus proving once again what I’ve always believed to be true most of our enjoyment in life…comes from the little things we do.

The little things are the big things years later. Often we did not realize it at the time though. Nicely penned Jim.
