Tis a gift to be simple...

Is it sad that I take such utter delight and joy in seeing something as simple as a bumble bee? Well I do.... This is the first and only bee I've seen since moving and for some reason it means a lot. Passing the flower markets at all the deli's is usually the highlight of my day. It feels like my spirits lighten every time I get to smell a new scent or see some new color or creation. I think it's the simple things that keep me going out here. Like how I always go out of my way to walk past the south side of the Baruch College building on 24th because there is a specific vent in the wall that always has warm pool air coming out. Yeah I love swimming and all, I guess I just never realized how Much. It takes moving to a smelly city to realize how much the simple smell of a swimming pool and all the memories that brings would make me happy.

Each day can be hard, and things might not always go as planned but at least I can take time to breathe, time to relax, time to remember how blessed I am and be grateful for each new experience. Truly life is beautiful, just have to see and find beauty in unexpected places.
