“I live in my own little world. But its ok, they know me here.” Lauren Myracle

Day #8
I’m thankful for the little things.

When everything seems important, when everything feels like an emergency, it’s easy to forget about the small stuff. But, when you look at your day, it’s the little things that can mean a lot. I’m thankful that my kids know how to make me coffee. I appreciate getting the USB plugged into the computer right the first time. I’m thankful for thick blankets, finding money in my coat pocket, and spelling a word correctly without needing spellcheck.

I’m grateful for friendly smiles, warm sunny days, quiet walks in the woods, and getting unexpected notes in the mail. I’m thankful for books so good that I wished they didn’t end and hearing the perfect song playing on the radio. I enjoy getting comments to my articles that say “your words captured exactly how I feel!” And I’m thankful for the rare times when my children go to bed at their bedtime, without yelling, fighting or needing to be told 300 times to brush their teeth. Which is a little thing that means a lot.
