the little things

in life, it's all about the little things. this could be the way that your favorite food tastes when you're cooking out with family and friends, or the way the snow looks when it falls while you look into a street light (if you haven't tried this...i suggest you do, its amazing) it could be the way the air smells after the grass has been cut, or the way a golf course looks at sunrise...these are the little things. little things are what make life special...the things that you remember when your homesick your sophomore year in college or when you want to come home in the middle of a sleep over at the ripe age of oh, lets just say 10...these are the things you think about that can either make your day into one of the best...or make your night into one that can be very hard to get through.  


when growing up, moving away and living on your own, i feel like you have more to say about these "little things".  now, as i start/continue my career and live on my own... i have plenty of little things to think about... for example, laundry is a different type of little thing, the crappy kind if you will, and for me..its a little thing that makes me want to scream...because laundry here for 3.00 in quarters is an absolute pain in the ass..but, its just a little thing right? [sigh] so, when shit like that annoys me, i try and think of the special or important things that would put a smile on anyone's face (ya know, the good kind of little things)... for example, the gamecocks winning in the first game of series in super regionals *go cocks!* or that i was able spend a nice day at the pool with a friend, as well as had some good sara time at the beach... these are the little things that tell me that the laundry issues i may have, are really not all that important...so brush it off, and take it in, take in the little things that make today special, and tomorrow a surprise, for you could come across another one of those little things that you will end up remembering years down the road, and c'mon... that's pretty cool right?
