The Little Things

We often think of and dream about the big events, the special days, the momentous times. Some of us even define our lives according to these big events.

But if you stop and think about it, what we should not overlook are the little things. Our lives are made up almost entirely of the little things. In contrast, we only experience a handful of big events per year.

That is not to say we should not enjoy the big events – do savour every moment of them. But once they are over, come back to the present and appreciate the little things.

    It’s so true. It’s the littlest of ‘things’..the tiniest of ‘moments’ that – when strung together – tell the stories of our lives. Exquisite image!!!
