It's the Little Things

Okay, right now in front of my vast audience of followers ;) I solemnly commit to posting in my blog more frequently!! There are so many little things that make my life wonderful that I feel guilty and ungrateful for not sharing them. For example, a couple of weeks ago I was just stressed out. I didn't want to do anything, and no one could make me! Or so was my attitude. In protest of making dinner, or completing any other task for that matter, I plopped on the floor in between the living room and kitchen and laid there. Instead of complaining that he was hungry, or that I was lazy, my sweet husband simply plopped down right next to me. The next 45 minutes were spent in laughter, playing the best game of "I Spy" I've ever played. What a wonderful attitude?! My husband would've had every justifiable right to straighten me out and bring me back to real, adult, life. However, instead, he was selfless and turned it into a loving and positive memory that I  cherish. Example #2; my husband and I were finally getting home from work and school and had gone grocery shopping. I don't know about you, but I'm a "one trip" kind of girl. Meaning, I HATE having to make multiple trips to and from the car for groceries. I know, its weird. This particular night we had made a particularly large shopping trip and it didn't look like we'd be able to carry it all to the house in one go. Then suddenly, a couple of our friends called out to us! They just happened to be walking by, recognized us, and offered to help us carry the remainder of the groceries in. Again these are very small and simplistic scenarios, but are situations that at the very least made me smile! It's amazing how much happiness you can provide by doing simple acts of service. SO instead of spotlighting a particular charity with this post, I'd like to encourage the habit of creating daily service opportunities.
