While listening to the iconic song "What A Wonderful World" I was asked what I thought of the song. The thinking was that when someone is going through some tough life stuff, maybe he/she wouldn't enjoy that song as much - maybe he/she wouldn't think it is such a wonderful world after all.
For me, this song is still treasured. In my opinion, the most important time to sit and appreciate the simple pleasures in life IS when you are dealing with serious stuff. Yeah, life might not be so easy, but I still appreciate the sunshine and a blue sky. I still love seeing rainbows after a storm and I still cherish blooming flowers and the innocence of a newborn.
Sometimes, when the world around you seems difficult or rough, it is important to remember that there are many things in this life that we can still enjoy - however small.
