We all have so many demands on our time. It's virtually impossible to get everything done that we have to do, much less that which we want to do. But if we go to long without time to enjoy the simple, unique pleasures of our lives, life becomes sheer drudgery, and happiness goes out the window. What are the little things that make your heart sing and lighten your load? For one person, it is sitting in hot water for ten minutes; for someone else, it is watching koi swim in a pond. If you don't tap into those things on a regular basis, you can't be available to be loving or kind to anyone else. Make time in your life for the things that recharge your batteries, for things that make you smile and bring you joy. Everyone will benefit.
