Little things

Sometimes we go so fast and fill up our calendars, there isn't time to stop and appreciate the little things. My friend Kendra (whom I met through the support group of women with breast cancer) is celebrating the fact that her hair is finally growing back. When I saw her post late last week, I could not stop smiling. I was so happy for her. She had the perfect post - a picture of her head with the tiny sprigs of hair growing in where there once was long flowing hair. 


Today, pause for a moment and appreciate the little things. Here are a few to get you thinking, along with my "even if" statements.


Laughter - even if you don't know what is so funny. Birds singing - even if they annoy you and wake you up from a deep sleep. Long grass - walk through it with your bare feet or roll around in it to feel the cool grass on your skin. Say thank you to the person that held the door for you. Smiles - make someone feel better. Wash your hair with care - there are many that miss having a bad hair day. Red lights - even if you are a few minutes late, nobody will remember. Sing really loud - in church or in your car on your daily commute. 


Item #530 - Never give up on anybody, miracles happen. Today pray for those that are struggling and remember that His plan for us was not created in Outlook. Stop looking at your calendar!


I love your guts!
