Appreciation

It has not been until recently that I have come to recognize and appreciate the smallest moments in life.
These moments may not be the smallest in length but rather, things that we do not notice in life.
It's the smile you give to someone as you walk down the hall.
I have come to smile right back instead of look the other way.
In fact, I have become the one who smiles first.
It's the please, and thank you's that reveal who people truly are.
It's the action not the word.
Realizing that everything happens for a reason.
Everything that has happened, was not by accident.
I have a life, a life to be cherished.
I am in love with everything that happens because I know it has good means.
I have come to love this life.
A year ago, I couldn't say that.
