It's the little things

It's so easy to get caught up in life. So caught up that life just passes you by. I find myself on a daily basis telling myself to slow down. To enjoy the day, the hour, the exact moment that I'm experiencing at that time. It's so easy to be concerned with next week or next time and challenging to enjoy the now. I have some fellows in my life that remind me every single day how precious life is, and how wonderful the little things are. I feel so lucky to have them, to be able to look in their beautiful blue eyes every morning when I rise and last thing every night when I fall. I'm so energized by them, by their way with me. They understand me, even the little guy, who is only 2. He has a great understanding of his Mama, one that can't be touched by any other human being I've encountered. As much as I look forward to watching him grow and mature, I remind myself to enjoy this day with him, today. Right now. 

 

 This little bunny has been showing up in random places for years. My husband and I take turns hiding him in places where we know the other will find him. I am always surprised where he chooses to place him for me to find, and found these two places exceptionally sweet. It's the little things...

Little bunny, tucked in with a nice pillow and blanket (made of tissues), ready for bed on my pillow.

Some beautiful flowers that little guy picked for me while walking the dogs with Daddy. He's so proud when he walks in the door with them, and his eyes light up with  my reaction. It's the little things...

This note was first on my husband's plate along with his lunch last weekend. I was surprised to find it recycled in the shower the next morning. It's the little things...

A sweet thank you note from my husband, found in his lunch box when I opened it to pack his lunch for the next day. It's the little things...
