So often we live our lives so focused on the "big" moments, the vacations, the promotion, the wedding, the graduations, and the big moves that we miss out on what really makes up life. Life is a conglomeration of all the moments, big and small, happy and sad. After months of focusing on the "big" moment of finishing school, I've suddenly been reminded that some of the best moments in life are the "little things". It's the smile from someone I care about, the late night phone call that lasts for hours, the laughter between best friends, saying "we" instead of "I", the ability to forgive and be forgiven, the dreams fulfilled and those dropped to pursue dreams that may be even more promising, the dinners I don't have to make, simply having someone there, "just because" hugs and those given to offer solace in sadness, the ability to make someone happy and to be happy living in the present, the drives to work when I can think and dream freely, greetings, goodbyes and everything in between, the tears of joy and sorrow and so much more. It is each and every one of these moments that makes life special and worth living.
(And yes I know this is sappy!!)
