Enjoying simple joys from "summary" of Wild by Cheryl Strayed
The simple joys are the ones that sustain us. They're the moments when we're reminded that life is worth living, even in its darkest moments. In those moments, the weight of the world lifts off our shoulders and we're able to breathe a little easier. These joys are often found in the smallest of things - a warm cup of coffee in the morning, the sound of birds chirping outside, the feeling of the sun on our skin. They don't require grand gestures or expensive gifts; they're free for anyone who's willing to open their eyes and see them. In the midst of my journey, I found solace in these simple joys. They became my lifeline, pulling me back from the brink of despair time and time again. When the trail seemed never-ending and my pack felt too heavy, I would stop and take in the beauty around me. I would marvel at the colors of the sunset, or lose myself in the rhythm of my footsteps. These moments of respite gave me the strength to keep going, to put one foot in front of the other and push through the pain. It's easy to overlook these simple joys in our fast-paced, technology-driven world. We're constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need more - more money, more success, more stuff. But in reality, it's the little things that bring us the most happiness. The smell of fresh flowers, the taste of a home-cooked meal, the laughter of a loved one - these are the moments that make life truly worth living. So I urge you, dear reader, to take a moment today to pause and appreciate the simple joys in your own life. Look around you and find beauty in the everyday moments. Embrace the things that bring you happiness, no matter how small they may seem. In doing so, you'll find that life is a little bit sweeter, a little bit brighter. And in those moments, you'll find the peace and contentment that we all so desperately seek.
