Just wanted to give you all a BIG thank you! :)

First off, I want to thank you for the lovely comments on my previous post. I was deeply and truly touched, and I am so blessed by each and every one of you. You made my day. (days, really, considering that that post has been up since Monday.)

As I said previously, those precious things in life are what stick with us--what really matter. Those are what we remember, and what we cherish. The simplest of things can be our most valued memory.

Which is why I'm trying to look at the little things.

So often in life, we are bombarded by the bigger picture--the small things and quiet moments of the day are pushed aside as we embrace the future and look towards whats ahead. The bigger, the brighter, the better. But living life in the sense of a fast-food drive, where we only move ahead to get what's waiting for us, that's something that is unhealthy for us. (see the correlation between the fast-food and this? ;)

If we only live for what's coming, then we are missing out on fundamental pieces of our lives. However, I'm not necessarily saying you shouldn't live like that.

What I'm saying is, you can't only live for that.

The smaller, precious, quiet moments in life are times we should take out of our schedules--they are times we should enjoy. They are moments that can give us peace, or joy, or happiness. A bit of laughter, a smile, love.

Those are moments to live for.

There are times in our lives when we need to slow down and reflect on God and His Word. These are the moments in which we can be touched. There are times when we need to sit down and play with some little kids. Believe me, the things that they say and do can relieve so much stress and help you to laugh again.

And then there are times just to sit and wonder.

When you take a moment to do some random act of kindness--talk with someone, exchange a laugh, a smile--those are things that stick with people. These are things that you can cherish and remember.


This has been a somewhat rambling post, but I'm fairly exhausted at the moment. I just really wanted to let you all know that you've touched my life.

So thank you. :)
