Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. The difference between feeling happy or sad, appreciated or taken for granted, included or separate, functional or dysfunctional, the same or different.
Some of the little things that have created positive energy for me of late are coming home to find my son fixing the leak under the kitchen sink, having a door moved out of my office at work, getting a phone call from my sister, having lunch with friends, and learning about a technology I want to use. Each on its own is nothing to write home about, but collectively they represent good not bad, better not worse, forward not back, yes not no, breathing not grimacing.
There are not many days where BIG things happen, but when they do, they leave their mark in some fashion and sometimes those big things can take over weeks or months or even years of our lives. But every day there are little things that happen that mesh and weave and join and flow to create the energy and emotions that represent how we feel about life.
Today I am thankful for the little things...

Barb,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I didn't know you had a blog all your own! But I will (from now on) be a follower! Your Thankful Thursdays is inspiring. This is the kind of thing I need to start doing to work myself out of my funk!
I wanted to thank you so much for your kind words and understanding. It's so hard to be in the middle of the storm. Those around you (and with perhaps more life experience) can see that it will pass, but when you are in the thick of it, you can't imagine the rain will ever stop pelting you. Thank you for all your encouragement throughout my journey. It means a lot.
Shelly, I love getting to share your journey through your blog. Your little guys are beautiful and it is obvious that you and Josh are doing a great job. By the way, you are an amazing writer, so keep blogging when you have time.
