Sometimes in the rat race we live in, we get into routines and forget the little tihngs that would matter to us had we lost those things. Sometimes in the absence of these things we realize just how precious the trivial matters in life are.

I took lunch out today. I drove to the taco bell one of my favorite spots for lunch. Mind you when I had my other car before all the chaos, I would eat lunch out at taco bell several times a week. Of course it was routine and just something "I did".

Fast forward to this past year and having to walk everywhere and take the bus. I brought lunch, ate in the office and even at home I was mostly just eating in only ordering dominos from time to time or other delivery. That was the new routine for the longest. time. ever.

So as I sit here after my lunch out, I am pondering how nice it was, and how at one point in my life being able to do these things was a routine, a trivial thing that was taken for granted. yes it was just a fast food meal, and yeah it was just a trip less than 2 miles away but man, do we take these things for granted sometimes.

I just invite each and every one of you who is open to this, to stop and consider some of the things you enjoy in your daily lives and think about what it would be like to have it taken away for awhile. ponder that and then go and enjoy this thing, this activity with renewed appreciation
