Is life what happens between the blah blah blahs? I'm not a big believer in New Year's resolutions but this year I have made a resolution to enjoy the little things in life. I was reminded of how short & precious our time on earth is when my dad passed away over a year ago.
We are certainly not guaranteed tomorrow. So enjoy that great new Britney Spears song on the radio (that you'll never admit to listening to publicly); savor that juicy cheeseburger; inhale that fresh air after a rainstorm; tell your family how much you are love them and your friends how much you appreciate them.
When you have a case of the blahs or are tempted to skip over the details in a story you are telling with "blah blah blah"- don't - stop! Stop and think of all the little things that you enjoy in life or a funny detail that will take thirty extra seconds to share.
This has definitely been a challenging resolution for me this year (up there with losing weight) but I think it is well worth pursuing. It's so easy to get caught up in the long term goals and keeping up with the Jones' that we lose sight of what is important in life. And it is important that we enjoy the little things in life and life itself. It only took me close to 40 years to learn that life is not just about the destination but it is about truly enjoying the blahs and the journey.
