[quote=Anonymous]I have the opposite problem. I enjoy my day to day but struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. Unless that is the purpose of life, just to notice and enjoy small blessings? IDK.

For me, what I find enjoyable is noticing and savoring really small things. Like, the first cup of coffee in the morning. The bliss of ice cold water after my run on a steamy summer day. The deliciousness of a hot bath on a cold day. How good it feels to get into bed with freshly washed sheets. A pink and purple sunset, a ripe peach, a crisp apple, a cloudless bluebird day in early September. Yellow and orange leaves swirling on a warm fall day. A misty, foggy autumn morning in October. The beauty of new fallen snow or ice on bare trees. I find it delightful and almost magical to watch a butterfly alight on my butterfly bush or a goldfinch land at the bird feeder. Hummingbirds are my favorite. Bunnies hopping around in the backyard eating clover. It's all just really beautiful and wonderous if you let yourself notice and appreciate it.

Yesterday I took my daughter to the pool. I like to get wet then sit in the shade with a good book while she plays. It was just really, really nice and I felt that deep down in my bones. Like a long sigh out.

So I find a lot of pleasure and meaning in the day-to-day. But what is the purpose of life? That, I don't know.[/quote]
