It's the Little Things..

Do you realize how tiny our world is? Yes, it's big, we think it's huge, it seems enormous. Really though, it's a small world. We've heard it a thousand times, "It's a small world isn't it?". We are everything yet we are nothing. We are a speck on the canvas of life. And think how an ant feels. Whenever I see that image from space that looks like the Eye of God...I know just how small we all are; how small this Earth truly is.

HOWEVER, I say all that to say to you, that life is wonderful. Life is hard. Life is worth it; worth all you must go through to get to the good stuff. I look for the little things. It's the little things that can make our days. If we are constantly searching for the big things, the big stuff, we'll be searching for the invisible lining; we'll never see it. Wanna know why? Cause we'll be so busy looking for the 'big' stuff, the one 'thing' (see previous post on 'things'), that our eyes will miss the little things, the wonderful little things.

Today we had a very nice time with family and friends to celebrate my husbands upcoming birthday. It was very low key and just nice. It was a little thing. But it was such a big thing. I don't think I have ever loved him more. We are at this point in our life where we have much to look forward to. We have much to remember. We are not old but we sometimes feel very old. So many memories, so many super, fantastic things, and of course, the hardest things one can imagine. And there's trust. Trust, it can be a little thing, a something to take for granted, it's assumed it's just there. I like it better when it's a little thing. It can whisper in the winds but when it's needed, when it's necessary, it's voice can come pounding in your ears, louder than twenty trains.

--The Eye of God. Look closely at that picture....it's multi faceted, it's looking at me, is it looking at you? It's quite beautiful.
