That's what I try to think about when I feel just totally and completely overwhelmed at life.
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being totally overwhelmed, lately I've been at about 13.5. Between my dad's passing and having a lot on my plate at work, I've had so very much on my mind.
So last night I finally told myself...
Its the little things...
I knew I needed to focus on the little things that have come my way recently.
...things that made me smile and, even if only for a moment, made me forget the worry and stress and sadness.
And here's what I came up with.
...a day spent with my sweet Mama.
...finally finding a pair of rain boots I could afford. And double points because they are cute too :)
...seeing signs of new life everywhere I look outside.
...hearing my youngest niece call me Zizzie (my aunt name) for the first time.
...going to a beautiful wedding and seeing friends I hadn't seen in quite a while.
...a tasty treat after a long day of work.
...finding a note written by a previous student :)
...hearing my oldest niece talking to my dog and telling her to say cheese for the camera :)
...receiving an encouraging video from a friend of the family and a professional singer.
...seeing pictures of the country that stole my heart 5 1/2 years ago, making me all the more excited about visiting it soon!
