Do you ever take time to enjoy the simpler things in life?

All of this myLotting today has really provided me the opportunity to take breaks and I've been outside to walk a couple of times to get some fresh air. I've stumbled upon some bushes and noticed a couple of smaller insects interacting and I thought to myself how cool it was to observe such simpler life forms. I would never take time out my day to check something, which I deemed rather insignificant, out and note the beauty. I even take time out my day to notice how useful certain inventions are, even if their just incredibly simplistic! The hanger and the picture frame have been a couple of my observations!

I think that because of how modern our world has become, many of us...actually almost all of us are so busy that we don't take a minute to just stop. Recently, I was sooo stressed out by something's, that I feel like I was about to burst. I decided to just take a break and take a walk at my nearby park. Because everyone was busy working, no one was at the park. It's was really peaceful. Then I spotted a bunch of ants carrying what seems to be a giant piece of leave and I was just amazed by how strong they can be. I know looking at ants may seem stupid, but if u think about it...who knows..future generations may only know ants from pictures only...

Yes, simple things in life are the best. No matter how advance our technology right now, it can't make us happy all the time. We can see gadgets in our everyday life and use it but we don't take time to enjoy and appreciate things that are simple. When I take time to appreciate simple things in life I usually connect it in my life like giving myself a lesson. The best example is our family, sometimes we don't appreciate them, but when you do you'll say that having them is enough to live.

Sometimes I just used to look the beauty and the secrets in the creation of ourselves, human beings. How wonderful we are. We are landed to the earth with all the sense organs and other organs which works properly which satisfies our body needs. Anyway the one who created us with all the abilities is a great and genius. Like this each of the living organisms around us is wonderful each of them is precious to this earth and beauty can be found in each of them.

Hi there Dellessimon, I've had a lot of errands these past few days...and I don't really have breaks while on mylotting or after mylotting. But I am quite observant with a lot of things most especially with what's going on with my surroundings. I really wanted to get some fresh air outside but I just prefer to stay at home because of the bad weather we are having...it keeps on raining. Have a nice day!

Funny, the hanger and the picture frame? Yeah I do think we should take time doing that in our daily lives. Have you seen things outside your window and sometimes look at what your neighbours are doing? I don't mean to stalk them.. but.. the other day my neighbour farted so loud I think the whole neighbourhood can hear it if they just pay attention!
