I have a deep love and appreciation for people who point out the joy of small things.
Anyone who knows me very well has probably heard me say something along the lines of loving simple things and how my favorite view or decorating is the simple kind. Even though this is true, I can sometimes be completely oblivious to those simple but beautiful things.
There are a few people that I have encountered in my life that bring light to these things better than most. Stuff like the way the light shines through a window. The soft shadow it casts on the carpet below. Saying that they’re jealous of the window because of where it is in relation to the sun.
Maybe others just a fascination with trees and the beautiful giants they are. Simply sitting there, maybe for 100s of years doing their thing. Quietly growing into one of the largest things in the city.
It’s people who genuinely enjoy these things. They have a different eye for seeing the world. Words that come to mind for them are whimsical or child-like. They express a deeper appreciation for simple things than I do for big things. Even when the busyness and stress of life is happening, they’re pointing back to the big white fluffy cloud in the sky.
These are some of my favorite people in the world and unfortunately, they seem to be few and far between.
If you’re one of these joyful people who points out the simple things, please don’t stop. It’s one of your most attractive qualities.
