Ordinary

So the poem goes,


'Ordinary day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.'


Why i love this poem so much? It rings far too true. Billions of moments pass us by every second, but we focus on the negative. Why? I will never know. I am guilty of doing it myself, but life is easier when we blur the background and focus on the foreground - what's important, what actually matters. Be aware of the treasure you are surrounded by.


Then, stop carrying around excess worry and fear. It brings you down.


Live.

    Very true words indeed. We all seem to get caught up in the negative small things instead of looking at the bigger picture.. x

    Just the words I needed to start my week. I'm one of those that carry worry and fear, and I CAN feel it bring me down. I need to remember that some things are out of my hands, as scary as that is.:/

    Hope you have a fabulous week!:0)
