Cavil at Life

Life is full of small details and choices that can make a difference. Sometimes, we may find ourselves cavil at the cost of something new or different, or we may find ourselves nitpicking over minor mistakes or flaws. But in reality, these small details and choices add up to form our life experience.

Whether it"s a new dress, a new job, or a new city, we need to learn to appreciate the small things and not be too critical of them. After all, it"s only natural to want the best for ourselves, but we also need to remember that life is about learning and growing, not just about being perfect all the time.

So, let"s learn to cavil at life, not just at things that are out of our control or beyond our reach. Let"s appreciate the small moments and experiences that make up our lives, and let"s not be too hard on ourselves or others when things don"t go as planned. After all, life is a journey worth cavil at, not just a destination.
