Small

It's Friday and time to keep my New Year's resolution to write Five Minute Friday each week in 2013. So far, so good. Here we go. Today's word prompt is small.


Sometimes it's the small things that matter the most, isn't it?

The words thank you.
 
The mosquito bite's irritating, continuous itch.
 
A baby's smile.
 
The flower among the weeds.
 
A paper cut.
 
A pill containing powerful medicine.
 
The pennies' difference that won't let the account balance.
 
Enough ... or too much ... salt.
 
A touch.
 
One degree on the thermostat.
 
A breath.

Our days are made of up millions of small things that either make us celebrate or cause us to sigh in frustration. The small things can cause the biggest fights or the most exuberant joys. Embracing the joy that comes from the small, sometimes overlooked moments is how I want to live my days. Letting go of the minor irritants that can ruin my day is something I continue to strive for while living this amazing life I've been given.

What is a small thing that has made your day lately?

  3. Loved this! The small things, positive and negative, are what make up our lives. God wants us to embrace them all as wrapped in love. I'm one of your neighbours from FMF. Blessings to you! ~Leah
