One of These Days

All the Small Things

Prompt:
"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization."
Harriet Beecher Stowe

One of the things I love about my mom. She was the Queen of celebrating the small things. I know when I was born, because my mom would always sing happy birthday to me at that time. She'd ask us what we'd want for dinner for our birthday and I always looked forward to it. My mom had the amazing ability to enjoy and celebrate the small things in life and it makes me appreciate those things.

I strive to live that way too. Especially with Mathew whose mother didn't really celebrate much at all. I think when you're able to enjoy the small things in life, life seems a little brighter.
