Julia Butterfly I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life, because I learned early that if you don't, you get disappointed a lot.  If you do, you might be pleasantly surprised quite often.  I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain.  I re-read passages from my favorite books.  I hold the little treasures that somebody special gave me.  By keeping my eyes open for unexpected joys, I find the world gives back more than we sometimes think.Quote by Dolly PartonREFLECTION:Are your eyes open for unexpected joys?What little things do you appreciate?What is the world giving back to you today?

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.  In practice, consistency is about being adaptable.  Don't have much time?  Scale it down.  Don't have much energy?
