It seems like so many people walk blindly through life without enjoying the little things. They are so caught up in their everyday life they don't take the time to go out of their way and really look at all the amazing things around them on a daily basis. They are to wrapped up in social media, tv, music and technology to realize the simple things in life like stopping and smelling flowers, helping a turtle cross the street, watching wildlife, or just listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
I feel like people have lost their connection to nature and that has caused us to loose a part of ourselves. We feel that we are above nature so we can destroy it and ignore it as we please. Basically since we are the top of the food chain we think we are the only thing on this planet that matters, when that couldn't be further from the truth. WE NEED NATURE, it is what grounds us, everything is connected in this world.
Being curious about things will make you enjoy life so much more. Lately on my walks I find myself on the side of the road a lot, looking at flowers, dragonflies, spiders and spider webs and all the cool things nature has to offer. I have taken the time to sit by the streams and listen to the water flow by. While sitting there I get to see the little frogs jump around and little fish swim with each other, it is incredibly relaxing. I get to watch the sunrise and hear the birds chirping in the morning which brings an unparalleled peacefulness into my life.

So if you want your life to be a little less stressful then take a step away from technology for a little while everyday and take the time to be curious! Catch fireflies, look at the stars, climb a tree, watch squirrels play, stop to look at the beautiful flowers, watch the butterflies flutter through the air, go out of your way to explore something you haven't before and just take the time to enjoy all the wonders of nature. There are so many cool things around you everyday, take the time to be curious and truly enjoy them!
