The Little Things

The last winter was a bit tough for me personally. Too many people I love got ill; some terminally ill; some passed away; some were in accidents. I have always lived in the belief that ”I can fix anything”. Suddenly my world crashed slightly. I was NOT able to fix everything.

I also started to think about today’s world. Too many people take everything for granted. We are too busy to stop and enjoy the sky; the sunrise or the sunset. We forget to feel grateful for the little things other people do for us. We have lost the ability to smile at funny looking things. We have, somehow, forgotten how fragile life can be.

So I started to try to have a different outlook on the world. Every morning I wake up is a good morning; I woke up. What a bother it would be if I wouldn’t? Obviously not for me, but for someone. The old saying; live every day like it was your last – we’ve forgotten to do that. Because you never know what tomorrow might bring to you.

So I have started to stop and to enjoy the view every now and then. And I have come to the conclusion – Camels make me smile.
