Thankful for the Little Things

With the holiday season upon us, it can be easy for us to forget about what we have as the demands for more, bigger, and better increase. Sometimes we fail to recognize those small and simple things. I firmly believe that the little things are just as important, if not more important, than the stupendous and amazing. You know, if you stop long enough to look around, the little things are truly amazing. The ability for children to find joy in the little things is amazing. Watching the seasons change is beautifully amazing. May we always remember and cherish the little, beautiful things.

Thankful for the Little Things

I live in a world of complaint

and I'm sick of it.

People fail to find joy

in what they already have.

Demands for

Bigger

       Better

           More

and the little, beautiful things

are trampled underfoot,

taken for granted,

forgotten.

Things like sunshine,

warmth, laughter,

smiles, giggles...

So many things

we witness every day.

But how often

do we recognize the impact

they have on us?

The impact is huge.

And I am thankful

for the little things.
