God said:
In its finest sense, a great thing to be able to say about someone is:
“He really knew how to enjoy Life.” Or, “She really knew how to live Life and to Love it!”
Alas, you may wonder where you fit in on this scale.
I say in its finest sense to make clear I am not speaking of any way of masking Life with opiates or any other escapades away from Life.
Enjoying Life is also more than taking Life in your stride, although Life is that too. Taking Life in your stride means that having a flat tire doesn’t have to impose tension and urgency. Whatever occurs on the surface of Life, this is your very Life to enjoy just the same.
Mud tracked in the house isn’t a catastrophe. Life is meant to be enjoyed with or without mud. Of course, Life is to be taken one day at a time, one moment at a time.
If your meat for supper tonight is more gristle than meat, chew the gristle and enjoy it. Among other things, gristle contains collagen, and chewing gristle is also good exercise for your jaw.
No need to turn the little into big! At the same time, little things can be the joys of your Life. A dandelion. A lollypop. A morning hug. A note. A smile. A question. An answer.
Oh, yes, there is more to Life than meets the eye.
