The Little Moments Of Togetherness That Makes Up Our Life

Sitting in the office, and suddenly the sound of firecrackers came from outside. Immediately I am brought into the spirit of Chinese New Year. Brought back into the present, that this is the morning of the eve of the new year. And I cannot help but feel so appreciative of this world that I'm living in as tears start to form on the edges of my eyes. 

I am appreciative of my environment that I have created. The environment that I choose to be in. The people in this environment right now, I feel a deep sense of love and connection to them. And I appreciate all these connections and I can feel it deep into my core.

I appreciate this office, this space, the furniture and the paintings on the wall. Every single one of them I have hand picked myself to be placed inside my environment. With a few gifts here and there. Everything is just perfect. I can't ask for anything more.

Yesterday was a great moment I had with my brother and mother as we cleaned up part of the house together as a team. Something that only happens during this time of the year. With technology taking most of our spare time, we seldom have these real moments anymore so when it happens it is even more of a cherished moment.

Intention of the day is to appreciate every single moment as it leads up to the gathering dinner so that I can truly live in the present and enjoy these moments for they do not happen the same again.
