I've been in Florida a week now, and I can say I've accomplished a lot, and also next to nothing, haha! But what I decided to do this morning surprised even me - I decided to wake up and cook breakfast for myself, and then lounge around and casually surf the internet. il dolce far niente <3
I thought about this as I sat down and looked at my plate of food. It's delicious, filled with fried potatoes, poached eggs and fresh apples with some chai tea, and I suddenly felt like Julia Roberts in "Eat, Pray, Love", and it's an amazing feeling.
I have nothing specific to do today, no where to go and no one to see, and because of that, I'm going to take my time. Far too often I rush around and try to fit too many things into my day, because I think "You only live once!" It's true, you do, but why live life in such a frantic rush that the little things pass you by? The little things in life are the things that if you stop and really think about them, make life worth living. A hug, a compliment, a great dinner, the smell of fresh cut grass, being in the presence of friends, laughter, amazing memories. Those are a few of the things I know I don't take enough time to appreciate, and it's time I did. With this new life in Florida, I plan on taking a little time each week to just sit and enjoy something, while doing nothing.
