I wish I paid more attention to the little things in life.

However, I tend to get all caught up in the big stuff of life.

I focus awfully hard on career and family. The pace of all that leaves little time for me to really stop and smell the roses as my dad would say. I try my best to be aware of that perspective. However, there are some days that I just want to come home and collapse in the HVAC comfort of my home. But dad was right. So I have been trying to live in the moment a bit more and pay attention to the small things in life. Watching a bird for a minute or noticing a new bloom is something that I try to do. And I also started to think about stuff like the air we breathe in our house. Our home is sealed up tight because the HVAC is on almost all year. And yet, I hadn’t really considered how I could improve that indoor air. I have always used the cheap paper air filters for the HVAC. What I didn’t know was that they are actually only protecting the HVAC and not me and my family. That was a little thing that I could change so I did. I upgraded our air filtration to a HEPA type air filter. The beauty of this small change is the fact that a HEPA type HVAC filter is looking out for us. It has the capability to trap and remove over 99 percent of all airborne contaminants in the air. That means better overall, respiratory and immune health for me and my family. Again, sometimes it’s just paying attention to the little things in life that can make such a difference.
