beautiful moments

Walking down the street and you see leaves falling.
They move gently and sway in breeze as they gently decend to the cold hard concrete. They person next to you never noticed.
You smile anyway and the smile stays on your face for the rest of the day.

I love these types of moments. They are all around us and it is so amazing that people are so concerned about where they are stepping, that they forget to look forward, up, even sideways to see the beauty that surrounds us all.

The beautiful vanilla skies, that butterfly fluttering in the breeze, the smile you put on the face of someone as you say G'day to them.

I try to take time to notice things around me. It is hard when you live in a busy city and people are all bustling from one place to another. My friends dont seem to notice these things either. I try to point out some of them but they never listen.
I stop and smell the lavender growing on the side walk. I pick the bud and walk home smelling it's sweet perfume.
I come home to my dog jumping up to me, welcoming me home from work. Her hair on her cute head is puffed up into a MoHawk and her jumps take on the insanity of an acrobat.

I know there are times when I seem to be an insane person as I can randomly burst into laughter at a small occurance or thought. I don't mind. Crazy people always seem to be the most interesting and engaging people.

So, may you be perceived as a crazy person tomorrow (if not for many days to come),
