There are few things that I love more than getting caught up in a moment. We all have this idea that life needs to be big, wild, and exciting. However, I am finding that is hardly true. I think that it is the little moments in life that mean the most to me.
This weekend, I went up north with my family. We went kayaking down a small, shallow river. We didn't spend the entire time talking or laughing. Mostly, we just sat in our own little boats and enjoyed the view around us. It was nice being together and having no pressures in the world weighing on my shoulders. I felt very at peace with the people I love surrounding me.
Another one of my moments came to me on the way to a job interview. I had to drive about 2 hours to get there and my boyfriend volunteered to go with me. It was so nice to have someone supporting me the whole way there. It turned out to be a really interesting morning filled with adventure. We laughed, talked, joked, and worried together. Knowing that I am not alone made a huge difference.
The truth is that life does not need to be eventful all the time in order for you to be happy. Sometimes, it really is nice to slow down a little and look around. I think that I get so caught up in life that I forget to actually enjoy myself along the way.
