The Small Things

 Lately I find myself grateful for the small things. I mean it's natural for someone to be thankful for life, for family and friends, and for Christ and Heavenly Father. Those things are HUGE! But I find myself wanting to search for the smaller things and pay more attention to them when I'm on my knees in gratitude to God. So right now, here's my little list:

• Wild Cherry Pepsi
• Multi Colored Straws
• Bread with Food Stuffed inside
• The 3 grey hairs that are located in my husbands goatee
• My birthday pedicure and manicure
• Watching my dog chase her tail
• Any kind of cheese flavored chip
• The feeling of grass between your toes
• The smell of the air after a rainstorm
• The smell of my husbands shirts
• The fact that I haven't needed to pluck any hair from my chin today
• That zit on my nose is gone
• A brand new computer
• My room smells like lemonade

Isn't it funny that we let the small things in life cause us the most stress, but we can't seem to be grateful for other small things? I used to say things like, "Well of course I'm upset! I can't find my favourite hair tie!" And things like "What's so great about flowers? They're just going to die anyways."

How horrible and cynical I was. I'm trying not to be that way anymore. How easy would it be to let small things in life make you happy
