"It's all about the little things." For many years, I didn't understand this. Isn't life about the big things like getting your drivers license, graduating high school, getting married, and having kids? Those are big things right? I would agree that, yes, those are big things in someones life. But is life just about the big things? Should you only focus on the big things?
At a baby shower this summer, I met a really good friend. We actually met by flicking a purple dragon across a table. Weird right? Well the next night we would spend 3-4 hours in an emergency room because I broke someones cheek with my foot. Then the next night we stayed up until 5 am talking. Even though we don't talk regularly, I treasure this friendship. It's the little things.
Driving home from a movie with your best friend and a classic Christmas song comes on. What do you do? Well of course you crank it up and belt it out. It's the little things.
Before I leave work, I try and remember to tell the little girl I nanny that I love her. The best part is when she responds with, "I know and I love you too. Will I see you tomorrow?" Even though I see her almost everyday, I love when she asks that after she tells me she loves me. It's the little things.
So, should you only focus on the big things? No, because you will miss all the little things that have more of an impact on your life than the big things.
