Appreciate the ordinary

I think we live in a world where acquiring things seems to be more important than anything else. We want to earn money to buy everything our eyes see .The more material things we have the more we want. We think that if we have the last cell phone we are trendy , we are cool and if we have a good car ,Oh Gosh we are awesome!!. But what happens when we have achieved all the possessions that we wanted to have? Is that enough to be happy?
It's time to return to the bases that is to say to start appreciating the ordinary, the ordinary means all those things that cannot be bought they are free and they can be reached by anybody at anytime.
The best things in life are free, for instance a hug, a kiss a word of love, they can fill our hearts and move feelings that we did not know that we had.
Staring at the moon and the stars is so beautiful and by doing it we can figure the majesty of God to create a world so perfect.
When we feel blue and empty is because we are pursuing only material things so that when we cannot reach them we feel frustrated and when we can reach them they are not enough we need more. Optimistic people are able to perceive and appreciate little things and that's why the are optimistic because with little they can be happy.
Whenever I feel sad I listen to music and dance and it's amazing how quickly I start to feel relieved and happy. I appreciate the ordinary because i think that is the key to happiness.
