Lately I have been trying really hard to appreciate the little things that happen in my life here in Granada. I sometimes get so wrapped up in things like trips to Dublin and Madrid, the beautiful sights in Ronda, the Castle in Segovia, and the other “big” experiences, and I sometime forget to enjoy the little things that make up my everyday life.
Last week my friends Bonnie, Jamie, and Emily went along with me to a tetaría where we enjoyed some delicious fresh brewed tea and great conversation.
On the bus to Ronda last weekend I had a great discussion about politics with my friends Jeff and Jenna. Conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, does Hillary really have a chance?
I can’t even begin to count the number of times Emily and I have gone window shopping for shoes; unfortunately all we can afford to do is window shop.
I had the chance to play soccer with some people from school the other night; I got some exercise, scored some goals, and really enjoyed the time spent with other students.
On the walk home from the soccer game, Jeff and I had a really nice conversation about faith and religion; it is amazing how a few exchanged words made me feel so great.
Last night Emily and I meet up with our friend Sean; we wandered around Granada searching for good tapas bars. A few friends, a few hours, a few drinks, and a few tapas really made for a fun night.
Big trips and beautiful sights are wonderful, but the little things in life matter too.
