Strolling back from the Pier in Atlantic City today, I stopped for a bottle of water in this store, and right towards the front, a mother had just given her little girl a quarter to pick something from a cluster of gumball machines. The little girl stood there with her hands on her hips saying, "Hmmmm"... and I had to giggle to myself remembering what a monumental choice it was as a little girl, in front of those machines with a quarter. The quarter that felt like a shiny million dollars because you never had access to money.So, think about things in that perspective for a moment. Actually think about things like that often. The big and small things in your life. I know it may sound corny, like the whole 'simplicity', think like a child philosophy. But it is so, so, damn true. You can get excited about anything you choose to, depending on your personal perspective. Try to look at things with that gratitude, joy and simplicity as often as possible. So many beautiful moments in nature and in life and with other people will start to become like little miracles to you.
