Finding Joy When You Least Expect It

There are times when you get so busy, that you tend to overlook what is right in front of you. You are so focused on what needs to be done that your priorities get mixed up. You forget about everything around you because you're concentrating so hard on your responsibilities. Balancing life has taken a back seat to achieving your goals. Spending time with family and friends sometimes is difficult when you have so much to do. Being driven to accomplish what seems to be so important doesn't leave you much time to enjoy life. Looking back, it may not be all your successes that you remember but the joyful times with your loved ones. Take a moment each day to acknowledge your blessings and take a momoent to share them with the people who matter most in your life. Joy is all around you.
Sometimes if you look hard enough, you'll see a joyful sight...

(I'm one of the those people who move quickly that I miss many things along the way. I don't take the time to look around and see what's around me, so I can't imagine all the things that go by. It's time to be mindful about how quickly I let life go by without enjoying the blessings that surround me.)
