“My advice to the person suffering from lack of time and from apathy is this:  Seek out each day as many as possible of the small joys.”             Hermann Hesse

The little joys … they are so inconspicuous and scattered so liberally throughout our daily lives that many times, we hardly notice them.  They are quietly waiting for us to slow down and enjoy them.
