If the world was gone in an instant, where would I be? If I never saw my family or friends again, would they remember me? How am I going to inspire someone be the best they can be today? These are some questions that I could vaguely answer, but appreciating the small things is going to be the journey of how I'm going to find out the true answers and meanings behind the questions to myself. Life is too short to spend being angry, I want to live a happy life with people I love. Now I am not too naive. I know that I will have trying times and points where I am upset and frustrated, but if I can try a little hard to appreciate the small things, then my life will be that much better.
I found myself highly agitated at my older brother this morning for calling me and waking me up from a really good sleep. As I'm going about my day wondering how would I feel if something happened to him today and I never could get a call from him again. I would cherish the last things he uttered to me over the phone, even if I was annoyed at the time of delivery. I am realizing that the tiniest of things affect us, even if we don't realize it. I was talking to the most amazing man in the world this morning on my way to work and I don't always appreciate his tender spirit. I am so grateful for his thought provoking comments and for being patient with me when he needs to be.
I think we as humans take for granted the smallest of things that make the biggest of differences. Things that once annoyed us we miss, things that are frustrating in a moment are things we would do anything to get back once it is gone.
As the French would say "Ne pas transpirer les petites choses."
