Pleasant things are seldom given enough notice. Perhaps it is because they are small moments or enjoyments and not a major 'event'. The major events we reserve for celebration, perhaps a birthday or anniversary, and for major holidays. How would it affect your life if you took a few moments to deliberately become aware of things or moments that can provide satisfaction. Perhaps it is closely examining a flower, perhaps it is a special trip or view, or time with a friend. There are many opportunities available. When they do happen, we tend to let them go by without proper notice. Expand your idea of the world by looking for things and experiences that can make life a more pleasant experience.

     Personal note: On this day I said goodbye to a kitten who was handicapped at birth and could not walk. She became part of my family of pets and was held by me daily for about eight months. Physical problems stopped her life suddenly. I am thankful that on her final full day I took moments to lie on the grass with her and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Some pleasant moments, though small, can last a lifetime. She learned a great deal and so did I. Thank you little Amy, for being part of my life.
