Its the Little Things....

That really make all the difference in life.

Its funny how much we let pass us by. We're always rushing, rushing, rushing and we never stop to just feel. Lately I've been rushing, rushing, rushing so that I really couldn't feel but that "rushing" feeling isn't any better. It makes you long for something... something you're missing by rushing.

So today I didn't have much to do...I had time to think which part of me wishes I hadn't decided to do. haha. I also had to go to work. Now, I love work but at times when no one listens to me it gets to be too much, but as I was driving home tonight I realized something...My little girls, as much as they drive me nuts they still love me no matter what and they always tell me.

So what hit me on the way home was that I've been craving someone telling me they love me... and not because its what you say before you go to bed or right before you get off the phone but because its random and they mean it. Its the most comforting thing when you feel a little kid slid their hand into yours and look up to you saying... "I love you Bender" Or make dinner and have them tell you, you're the most amazing cook. so I realized that I've really been needing to hear someone tell me those things, too randomly give me hugs and say nice things and those things are just little things... Little things that reminded me that Its okay.

I know I have tons of people in the world who love me but sometimes we all get caught up in "rushing" that nobody really take the time like children do to tell you what you mean to them. They might say "I love you" or "you're beautiful" but its almost as if those words are on auto pilot or you say them when you know the moment is right... but that isn't what it should be... We should want to say something to someone because its true and they should hear it.

My little girls, drive me inside and make me scream but they also give me love and care for me when they know I need it the most and I'm so thankful for them. God knew I needed them for this stage in life. :)

This little man even though I didn't write about him has always held my heart. He has stopped my tears countless times and has brought me comfort even when he was only 2 months old.

And this little girl, my niece will hold a very, very special place in my heart. Even before I knew her she was making me smile when I needed it the most.

So I'm going to remember that the little things in life, at this moment are the things that really matter. I don't want to be looking into the future thinking "Life will be soo great when this happens" No right now is the time and instead of rushing I'm going to enjoy the little things. Ya' know, we should take a lesson from little kids. They might not have it all figured out but they have one thing and that's love. Carefree love that they're always ready to give.
