Jan - A Mid-week Revelation

Ok, I realize that perhaps other people have a moment that ticks in their head and all of a sudden you are like "uh huh!" And seriously, I mean this with enthusiasm. Well, today this revelation is minor but packs a giant punch.

...such a great moment in one's life is the moment that you realize you are small and the world is big. And to translate to one's life further, it is a magnitude of small daily and almost religiously performed tasks that makes one's life grand. It is the moment that took a second that truly takes your breath away.

I will strive to remember small things. Small minuscule details that are the thread in the fabric of life. Remembering that a friend enjoys two lemons in her tea, my grandmothers' birthdays, sending a thank you note, pausing to let someone cross the street, stooping to pickup something that was dropped in a rush, stop rushing, smile, not frown, pick up the check, say hello and wish for a happy day.

Contributing to the happiness of others is an instant mood booster. It is truly through being of service and an advocate for others that we can find our greatest moments of joy.
