It's The Little Things

The other night I was up really late doing homework and felt myself quickly falling into an abyss of stress. I decided to take a quick five minute break to just take care of myself. I got up and brushed my hair. As simple as it sounds, that little act completely got rid of my stress and made it possible to get through the rest of my homework. That got me thinking about the small, seemingly insignificant joys that each day brings. It's the little things in life that bring the most happiness. In this season of thankfulness I think it's important to remember not just the big things that we're grateful for. Every second of the day contains a little blessing, it's whether we choose to see them that makes the difference. From now on, I am choosing to see these blessings, whether they be walking to the mailbox, writing a letter to a friend just to say "hi", or unwinding from the day with a good book. I'm curious, what are some of the little things that you're thankful for?

I was browsing Pinterest, as I do way too often, and came across this beautiful quote. I couldn't seem to get it out of my mind because, to be honest, I need to take this to heart right now. Whether I'm working on college applications, planning my 18th birthday party, or focussing on furthering my career, this time in my life is very "me" centered. It's absolutely great to have goals and ambitions for yourself, but I guarantee that you will achieve those goals and feel better doing it when you put others first. Next time we see someone eating alone at lunch, let's sit down and get to know them. Let's pay it forward at Starbucks by paying for the person in line behind us. Or just listen and be a comforter if a friend is having a rough day. I'm challenging myself to do this and I hope you do the same! I'd love to hear your experiences. Comment below with a time that you have risen by lifting others!
