It's All About The Little Things

     Just the other day I was driving home from work feeling down and out.  I don't know why, but I had a sense of dispair.  Work was going fine, but I was thinking of my life and how far I have come.  I remember thinking that I was not happy with the way my life had turned out.  I had a college degree, but I really did not like the fact that I have had too many jobs since graduating and how little I was making in terms of an income.  Yeah, I guess you can say that I was disappointed with my life.

     I was about to be totally bummed out when I stopped in mid-thought and yelled at myself for feeling sorry for myself.  So what if I did not make 100k a year so what?  So what if I have had too many jobs over the years?  So what?  I told myself that I needed to stop thinking about all of the negatives in my life and start thinking about all of the positives that have come my way.  After all, my life was not a total failure.  No, my life was full of so many "little things" that have made a difference thus far. 

     Just then I pulled into the driveway and parked my car.  I thanked God for allowing me to vent and walked up to the door of the house.  As I walked into the house, my two year old came running around the corner of the kitchen yelling and screaming "daddy home daddy home" and threw herself into my waiting arms.  Just then, I forgot about the negatives in my life and kissed her head.  It's all about the little things, for they are the ones that make a difference.
