Its the small things

Sometimes when you have a bad day its not one huge thing that makes it horrid....its the small things. Like waking up late, running out of gas, dealing with annoying phone calls ALL DAY LONG, paying bills with money that's not there, cleaning house over and over (even though you are never home to mess it up!)....all these things piled up on top of each other can get to be just to much.

And sometimes when you have a bad day it can be one huge thing that gets in your way, like filing for divorce, losing a loved one, realising a life goal might just stay a dream or losing your house that can just make your world feel like it will crash.

But on either one of those kinds of days you can also appreciate the small things that make those days bearable, breathable and livable. Like having a friend tell you they see you are in pain and they are there for you, or even a friend that tells you to buck it up and get on with it (whichever needs to be said to you at the time), when the sun comes out or when the rain falls, a joke that makes you chuckle, or your child telling you they love you.

Small things that make all the difference in the world. I sometimes forget the small things that are good and focus on the small things that are bad or get overwhelmed with the big things. Stop and smell the flowers so to speak. It really does help. It might not put you in a fabulous mood but it will make the day livable and hopeful for the next and that is what gets me through. :)
