Little Things

Because I've been doing so many text-heavy posts lately and because this song inspires me...

There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives.
We're so busy hustling, bustling, chasing far-away dreams
that we forget the little things
like blue skies, green eyes and our babies growing,
like rainbows, fresh snow and the smell of Summer.
We forget to live.

Lavender growing beside my front steps

Give us eyes like children so we live each day as our last.
We're so sure we know so much that we forget to listen.
Then we want the fickle things;
Like cheap thrills, fast fuel and constant consumption,
Like TV, CDs and cars that speak our names.
We forget to live.

Passionfruit curd - delicious warmed up and served on icecream.

There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives.
We're so busy hustling, bustling, chasing far-away dreams
That we forget the little things.
Like blue skies, green eyes and our babies growing.
Like rainbows, fresh snow and the smell of Summer.....

Winter Mulberries in my garden

We forget to live.
(lyrics by Lamb - Little Things)
