It's the Little Things

Not every day can be a PR day....but today is!

Little things. Small victories. Instances and incidentals that matter to no one else, really. But in my mind and in my heart they matter, nonetheless.

The little way my son puckers his lips without opening his eyes as I peek under his warm blankets and ask him for a good morning kiss. The two small race cars that he put in my lunch bag as I rushed out the door and didn't remember until I opened it just now. Made my heart soar.

The look of pride and contentment on his face as I let him wash the dishes last night. Of course the sink overflowed and a little water got on the floor. But it was just a little water. No match for the big feeling of accomplishment and the smile that beamed on the face of one precious little boy.

It's things like that....

And things like that little boost of confidence that came from pushing more weight over my head than I ever thought possible....That little dip of the knees just before the drive overhead that makes the little and yet big difference between a strict press and a push press. Lowering oneself to increase power....novel idea.

I might miss a lot of the big things, but I hope I never stop seeing the little things.

Not every day can be a PR day....but I'm thankful for every little day that comes.
