Coming Home

Hearing the garage door open as he came home..... 

It's one of the little things Lisa Beamer misses about her husband Todd 

("let's roll!" on 9-11 flight over Pennsylvania).

Our days are made of these little moments and she encourages everyone 

to make the most of every day we have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 From now on every single day find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see. It could be a scent, perhaps of freshly baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or the smell of coffee when you wake up, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground.

Please look for these things  and cherish them. Take pleasure in them. 

These are the "stuff" of life, the little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. 

The things we often take for granted.

Take notice of something special today. Go barefoot. Take a walk at sunset.
Really enjoy what you're eating or drinking. Feel the warm sun on your face.
 Look at the clouds.

Take notice of the welcome home moments, the sound of the front door opening, seeing your loved one's eyes light up and your pet's tails wagging when you come home.

Be a witness in your life's moments. Really see, smell, hear and touch, 

and always listen for the garage door opening.
