The Little Things

I've always been more of a detail-oriented type of person. Sure, I'd have the "big picture" at hand, but for me, it was always about the little things. I figured, if we all had the same "big picture" our lives would be relatively uninteresting and similar...

Haven't you ever wondered why it was always those tiny insignificant moments in our lives that we remembered best? For one, maybe it was because they were of actual sincerity and honesty. True sentimental value. It wasn't like some generic washed-down copy of something you came by everyday. It was either real or unique or just something refreshingly different.

It's like when you meet a new person... The moment you see them, you get the "big picture" right away. They are either handsome and tall... or awkward and strange. Either way, you just have that first impression SLAMMED in your face. But then you start to get past that uncomfortable first stage, and you notice. Their smile. Or the thing they said that made you laugh really loud. Or just the certain way they carried themself out. A little quirky- but you'd find yourself saying I kinda like it and you'd be drawn to it. HOOKED- or something...

I guess that's how I've felt lately-
"The big picture" of my life has just been whizzing past me like a huge whirlwind. Pushing. Forcing me to move even when I'm not ready. And where to? I have absolutely no clue. But I've just been breezing along with it. And I find myself catching the little leaves that are blowing by. The wind is oubviously stronger and more important. But the little leaves seem to be more interesting. I keep catching them and they make me think and appreciate.

I dont know. In a life that's deemed to be so complex, it's those incredibly simple things that keep you going.
Stupid jokes- Incredibly corny stories told by your extremely odd yet wonderful friends...
Disney movies. Sleepovers.
Finding lucky pennies [that you never really keep]
Morning texts, that say "Have a good day!"
Funny people. That aren't really funny, but their efforts are great.
Really warm showers. And yummy vitamin gummies.
Unexpected meetings. Perfect strangers that became best friends.
Ferrets. Pets.
Little kids. And of course their huge capacity to love and forgive.
Hugs. Good hugs. Strong and warm.
Pats on your head. [Haha Andy]
Nice people. Just genuninely sweet. Like the Rebecca Lams of this world.
Favorite song playing on the radio. Singing till your lungs are about to burst.
Really heartwarming moments- the kind that makes you want to cry but smile and just dance and everything!
And goodness, so many other things...
You just can't name all the good things in life in one single entry. Heck, I don't think you could even in a million entries...
