The Little Things

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize that they were the big things." Robert Brault

Outside our window is a hanging bird feeder. It doesn't cost much to keep it going, just a few dollars and a little effort on our part. This morning there were two little finches enjoying the seeds, and roommate/friend/fellow blogger Loudmouth Birdie (www.loudmouthbirdie.com) remarked about the enjoyment she gets from the birds. She said that as she gets older, she realizes how important those little things in life really are.

Do we have it all mixed up? Are the big things really the little things and the little things the big things? Maybe so.

I am so stunned at how much joy they bring and how present one must be to NOT miss them as they alight on our shoulder with a gentle nudging...."look! See! Look at me as I may be GONE in a blink of an eye! " WEll Said as usual! THANK YOU!!!!

  2. The key is being present, that is very true.
