The Little Things

The little things in life really do make a difference! I never thought in a millions years I would be grateful to be able to wear a t-shirt, but after not being able to for 10 days after the accident it was a super incredible moment yesterday when I put one on. It was even a little wonderful to feel the pain that was there when I took it off, because I was grateful for the way that our bodies set limits.
These last couple of weeks have really opened my eyes to the true beauty in life. How incredible it is to see a child accomplish a task that they have been working on, or to see a flower in bloom, or to watch a couple in love walking down the street together. There are so many wonderful moments in life that many people, including myself at one point, just walk by or don't take the time out of their busy lives to enjoy.
The flip side to this though is that there are many little things in life that also get blown out of proportion in a negative manner. These little things can work together and build on each other to bring us down and obstruct our vision of the beautiful moments.
The little things can make such a difference in how we view the world, positively or negatively. Make them count, and see the beauty in the world around you...
