Nerd Life: Appreciating the Small Things

"12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God."

Ecclesiastes 3

This morning I had two instances where I was able to capture the moment and just appreciate everything about them.

1. I was standing in line at the coffee shop smelling the roasted coffee, hearing Counting Crows, "Long December" in the background and thinking, "I love this song, and I haven't heard it in awhile." 
2. A friend and I were walking around campus and ended up sitting near an open field of beautiful green grass being cut by a riding lawn mower and smelling the cut grass while feeling the cool breeze and it reminded me of my days in Georgia and my favorite movie Forrest Gump.

Twas a beautiful day...
