Breathe. Be Surprised. Find Enjoyment.
Take the time to forget the stress of the world. Look around and take note of the small details. Be grateful for the beauty in your life. The people you love and who love you. Your natural surroundings. A good book. The sound of laughter or raindrops or music. Think of all your gifts, the smallest things that give you pleasure.
