The little things

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." 

I see this phrase everywhere... but I think it is somehow misleading. 

If we measure life by breathtaking moments, we miss the wonder of ordinary moments - eating, sleeping and breathing. 

These might seem to be ordinary, in the sense that we do it in our every day routine, usually without so much thought.

But, did we even realize that they are not ordinary at all?

Every bite and every breath we take are miracles.

In fact, to breath is more miraculous than anything that takes our breath away. :) 

Let us all be reminded that it is important to find joy in ordinary things and realize that bigger is not always better and more doesn't always mean an improvement. 

Instead of looking for meaning in breathtaking moments, we should find meaning in every breath we take, and make our every breath meaningful. :)
