It's the Small Things

Did I mention that when life gets busier, posting on my blog seems to be the first thing to go? Or maybe another reason not to post is that who wants to hear about another long day at work, a sink full of dishes, a dead lawn, another unfinished book, high grocery prices, or another cooking disaster? But really, it’s all the small things that help to make life special. The small things that I would miss if I was spending my waking moments (while not at work), scouring the Internet or writing uninteresting blog posts. Small things, like an impromptu walk in the rain, a late night drive, an unexpected movie & popcorn, or just a quiet conversation that was long overdue. It's rather hard for me to blog about such things. How do you find the words to convey the inner joy and contentment they help to bring into our everyday lives? That being said. . . . Tonight my hubby & I are celebrating my sister’s fifth birthday with my family. There undoubtedly will be great joy around the dinner table…as well as mounds of spaghetti, probably a glass or two of spilled milk, much laughter, and a very happy & adorable birthday girl. Catch ya later folks; I have a party to get to.
