How come we have to win the 120 million in the lottery why can't we just be satisfied with the 7 mill.
Why do we need a 9 bedroom house why can't we just be satisfied with a 2 bedroom fixer upper.
Why do we need the hottest guy (bad boy) on the block, why can't we just be content with the man who loves us unconditional.
As I started to ponder these things I realize, I need to start appreciating the little things again. Like the fact that I woke up this morning. My car started. I have a job in this F'd up economy. I survived cancer!
I am reminded that life is too short to be angry and tense about the things that I can't control, the saying is true when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. I realized, that there have been times I didn't know how I was going to pay my rent, or how I was going to get this and do that. But it worked out, and I was lax in my greatfullness.
I am beginning to understand that all GOD wants from us is to be greatful. Live decent lives and look to him alone for our peace.
So thank you, for the little things, the small gestures, the safe passage, the breath of life, the healing, the friends, the family, the love unconditional, the non judgement, the making a way out of no way, the understanding, for what you are about to do, and what you have already done.
Guess the little things are GRAND after all!
Hello Nikea,
ReplyDeleteI agree that peace is found within our spirit. Nothing from the outside will quench our thirst. I think it took me several years to figure that out, honestly.
I love the simple things in life and truly am happy to just wake up everyday. Sure, it's not always the best day...but there's something to be said for an "uneventful" day. Like you say, " the breath of life, the friends, the family"...there are so many people that don't even have family and friends. So I am blessed!
I really like your attitude and in my little part of the world, I try to surround myself with upbeat and postive people. It's very contagious and it's one bug that's good to catch:)
~Take Care & wishing you a great weekend!

I'm digging your evolution as a blogger. This posting is tres cool! It's all about the small stuff and it isn't about the small stuff all at the same time.
