Blue, white and sprinkle of green in my rear view mirror

After a long wait finally Summer is here (officially).

We were visiting Snoqualmi Falls last weekend and what I saw in my rear view mirror on the way was so mesmerizing and tranquil that for a moment I forgot everything and thought this is heaven and we keep looking for it everywhere and in everything else.

In that moment nothing mattered be it career, money, position or people.

We keep running after career, people and money and we pass over the small things in life like a blue sky with white clouds and sprinkle of green from the trees around the road and those on mountains behind.

As is the motto of this blog to not let small things in life go unnoticed, one should never overlook 5 things in life,

1. Nature around you:- the wonderful gift given to us for free and has everything that we need .
2. Health:- if you can walk few miles just do it.
3. Happiness :- it comes from small small things like eating your favorite dish, watching a kid play or smile in a park, a Dog sprinting after a ball with all the energy and zest, a flower blooming or fruits growing on the tree(s), Sun sets and Sun rises, waves of ocean and ripple on the creeks, rivers, lakes or ponds, mist coming from a water fall, horses grazing the grass or a chipmunk or a squirrel eating and playing in a forest, Moss covered trees with the hollow of the trunk to hide, a bunny chewing it's way on the green grass, even weeds that grow in your backyard with colorful flowers are beautiful; the list is endless. If you have witnessed any of these in past few days consider yourself lucky, happy and alive.
4. Growth:- if you can learn, grow up, grow old or watch some one grow up it's worth the journey called life.
5. Kindness and compassion:- it is the most precious thing that is seldom given and often forgotten or glossed over. It has many variations we just need to identify them and keep with a warmth that spreads all over.

PS: If you plant a plant or tree you can be rest assured it will be there tomorrow, day after and day after and so on... no matter what, can you say the same for career, money or people we run after and add stress to our short lives?

Cheers!
