LITTLE THINGS
We never know in this life what in the next moment fate will bring…I suppose that’s why we spend so much time relishing in all the little things.
Like spending a day with our children…their children…our grandchildren too…
Like that smile of contentment on our faces…when the day is through.
Like driving in our car with the windows down on a cold Floridian night…
oohing and awing while taking pictures of our neighbors Christmas lights.
Like taking the time to write a letter…sending a friend our warm regards.
Like having a picnic at the picnic table on the patio in our back yard.
Like a walk under a starlit sky or a stroll along the shore…
Like dancing through our lives…with people we adore.
Like seeing a young girl sleeping on her kitchen floor…with her new puppy by her head…Because her parents told her that puppy’s too young to sleep with her in bed.
Like helping a young boy find a book in the bookstore…and having to smile and pause as he pays you with his own money then says, “Thank you Santa Claus.”
I imagine we all have them…little moments we compile…
Little things that give us pause…little things that make us smile.
It’s funny how, at the time they’re happening, they seem insignificant and small…but the more we live…the more we realize…they’re not so little after all.
So here’s a toast to a life filled with little things…where each one is a shining star…and to realizing when it comes to the little things…
how big they truly are.
