The little things

Maybe I'm just a little wacky, but for me . . . the little things truly mean a lot!

I woke up to a note to take a specific vehicle to work. It said, "Please take the car. Luv ya!" Nothing more. Nothing less. Just a sweet little pick me up at this horrid hour of the morning.

If more folks learned to take joy in the tiny pleasures that life has to offer, the world would be a much happier place. Maybe instant gratification is NOT the answer. Maybe, just maybe, a short wait for something you want; working really hard for the item you truly desire; and an intermittent random smile from a stranger is the makings for a perfect day. Yeah, that's it!

The "headed home" text from your child. The "just checking in" phone call from family members. The "Hello Friend. Just thinking of you." email from someone close. These things need not be complicated. It is the joy within you that is released when someone else acknowledges you. Imagine how good it would feel, if you did that for someone else.

And then . . . the little things would make the world a better place.

Go make the world a better, happier place!
