Thinking of the little things....

I hope this night finds you as snuggled up as me! It feels like the first real fall night to me; so out comes the flannel down comforter and in goes a Lord of the Rings movie. Some hot chocolate completes my perfect Saturday night. Some might think it's sad, but I'm content.
Just appreciating the little things tonight. When life throws you a curveball, the world seems to slow around you, allowing you to soak up some precious moments, throw away all those big worries, and lets you focus on what matters in your heart, your soul. It reminds you once again how skewed your view of the world has become, how often you focus on the big picture, the big worries, and miss what's happening in this moment, in the now. How easily potentially great moments will slip by us by not being in the present.
Working with the general public does great things for me. It lets me see the good and bad in people. And I get to be so, so thankful for the loved ones I have in my life. I get to see, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter that we don't have a ton of money, a huge house, lots of nice cars, or anything else on the endless list of material things. We have love, and that wins every time.
