Don't Miss

Don't miss the little things. 

Don't miss the sunsets or the rain. 

Don't miss looking into the eyes of 

your dog or special friend or family member 

knowing how amazing you are to them. 

Don't miss the smell of coffee or tea or the chance to smile at a stranger 

because you may make his or her day.

Joyous Listener

I'm a fan of the musical composers Ira & George Gershwin. Their music was so ahead of their time and has left such a legacy!

In doing some research on them, I found this lovely fact --

Ira was a joyous listener to the sounds of the modern world.

"He had a sharp eye and ear for the minutiae of living."

He noted in a diary: "Heard in a day: An elevator's purr, telephone's ring, telephone's buzz, a baby's moans, a shout of delight, a screech from a 'flat wheel,' hoarse honks, a hoarse voice, a tinkle, a match scratch on sandpaper, a deep resounding boom of dynamiting in the impending subway, iron hooks on the gutter."
