::: it is the little things :::

Far too often we wait for the huge, outrageous moments of our live to take notice of how extraordinary our lives really are. We have set scenarios in our minds....if this happens, at this time with this person and has this amount of impact on my life, then I will file it in my memorable moments with a huge impact on my life category.

Maybe we are missing the point. We are so busy looking for the bright, gleaming and flashy moments in our lives, that we miss the ordinary miracles. The little things that put small bright spots on our days. The moments that put a smile, even the smallest of smirks, on your face. It is those small things that keep us going. It is the little things that save us everyday from waiting on the scenarios we have build up in our minds.

my little things --

:: the white kid with old school head phones jamming out at the bus stop. Yep....full out singing/rapping with hand motions and body movement. Including the "rapper facial expression"......you all know what I mean!

:: Dear Starbucks... I am incredibly thankful for your decision to make pint size java chip frapuccinno ice cream. It is heaven in the form of ice cream. Love, Me.

:: My basketball guys quoting this commercial constantly..... yep, still funny every time they do it.

:: office chairs that spin.

:: random emails and facebook messages from people.

:: speaking like everything you say is a question.

:: someone telling you they miss you.

:: someone telling you that they have been thinking about you.

:: swedish fish!

:: random holidays....national pancake day.....frozen dead guy day....etc.

:: catching an awkward song playing on some one's iPod or blaring on their car stereo. even better if they are singing along.

::"Relationships used to have well defined milestones. First dates, first kisses, anniversaries, etc. Now the biggest turning points are status changes to 'in a relationship' and dual profile pics."

:: socially awkward people. Especially the ones that when asking me if I need ice or anything for my athletes after a game go on for five minutes about how her boyfriend is back in town and wanted to come see her, but his truck wouldn't start......... wait, when did we become bff's? What happened to the ice bags?

:: When people try to finish your sentence or thought.....and they are wrong.

just to list a few........
