Have you ever felt like you were a bit lost? I'm not talking turned around in a "physical" sense. Just kind of unsure of..well, everything?
I don't know if it's just something people go through in their 20's, but lately I've been feeling like the places I am headed aren't marked on my mental map. That's scary. Plans. Future. Figuring everything out. Those are the things I am good at. Being lost. Well, it's new to me. And I kind of like it.
Sometimes I get too caught up in the big plans, and I forget to appreciate the little moments. Moments that aren't particularly significant but absolutely beautiful.
I recently started working at a department store. As I was organizing some products, I overheard a mother and daughter laughing, talking, and reminiscing. I just caught a slight glimpse of their genuine happiness. But the love they shared was evident. They had this bond. A bond that I recognized. A bond that I have with my own mother.
And in that small, insignificant moment--I found myself smiling. Because it's those tiny honest moments that remind us of the importance of a good laugh. Bring some light back to our eyes. And make our hearts skip a beat.
In that moment, I missed my mom. So very much. But I was so inspired by that special love. It reminded me of all the good in this world.
Sometimes kindness is everywhere we're not looking. I am slowly learning to take in the whole scenery, instead of just bits and pieces. This new territory has introduced me to a world of irreplaceable opportunities. Opportunities to witness and share happiness with complete strangers.
I don't know exactly where I'm going with this. To be honest, I didn't even plan to blog today. That's the thing about me lately. I don't know where I'm going. But I can't wait to see where I land.
Until then, I'm going to continue to discover the ordinary miracles in this great life. One little moment at a time.
