Sometimes it's easy to overlook the simple things in life that can make you smile or bring a happy moment into your day. Here's one I had that I wanted to share with you.
When we bought our house last April I noticed a big tree in the front yard. Our neighbors mentioned that it was a fruit tree. Oh, what kind of fruit I wondered?? They thought it was grapefruit which I'm not the biggest fan of but OK, still exciting to have a mature fruit tree in the yard. Fast forward several months and some tiny fruit started to form on the branches. With anticipation building, I finally was able to pick one off and cut into it. It was an ORANGE! This little moment made me so excited. I love oranges!
A few more weeks passed and the oranges got bigger and brighter on the tree. I finally decided to pick some and juice them to see if I could get fresh OJ from them.
They were juicy little suckers!
I was able to squeeze a whole glass of fresh, from my own yard, orange juice!
And it didn't hurt that it gave me an excuse to buy another kitchen gadget. One other small thing that makes me happy...gadgets for the kitchen.
So, in the midst of this crazy thing called life, look for the small things, the simple things, to make this life a happy one.
