"Sometimes it's the little things that count most."
Take a look around and what do you see? People bustling about in a hurry. Cars speeding by trying to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Do you realize it? Probably not. We are all too engrossed in our own lives to really notice everything else going on around us. Sure, you may look up for a moment and see something nice, but do we really ever stop to appreciate the little things anymore like sunsets, the clouds, the summer tiger lilies along the roadside? Do you really ever stop and appreciate the little things someone else does for you? Like getting you a Cherry Coke and Hot Fries after you're hooked up to the EEG? (Which I really do appreciate, Lacie. Thank you so much) Why don't we as a collective society really stop and smell the proverbial and actual roses?
Honestly, I'm not sure. Yeah, you could say that it's because we are too consumed with our phones and Pokemon GO. Maybe we have all become so self-centered that these things pass by us without a second thought? I'm not really sure, but I do know one thing.
We all need to take some time to just stop, look around, and really appreciate the little things in our lives. Whether that be a cute love note your significant other has left for you, someone complimenting how you look, or just the fact that you woke up with the sun shining and hot breakfast waiting for you downstairs. Appreciate what you have and be grateful that you do have these little things in your life.
The little things will always mean more than the big things in life. Wave at a stranger, tell someone hello and that you hope they have a nice day. Help someone out if you see them struggling. Be a nice person and you would be amazed at how good you'll feel and how good you may have made someone else feel. Give it a try sometime.
All in all, appreciate the little things in life, they will mean for more to you later in life.
