Going through the motions

Life needs to have some spice in it - something that we look forward to so that the days do not become an undistinguishable blurr. We need to have mid-term goals or hopes that allow us to fight through the discouragement - and there is plenty of that in life. Sometimes we forget that those "rewards" do not have to be big things. We can make little things be big things just by thinking of them as big. "I am going to buy a milkshake on the way home from work today." Or whatever. It sometimes works, even that simply. Life needs to be something more than just going through the motions.
