Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. ~ Robert Brault
1) Ah.. a warming trend. Warm enough that on realizing that I had left the house wearing only my little cotton gloves, I didn’t feel the need to stop the car and run back inside for a warmer pair.
2) An early appointment with Coco’s groomer finds Sadie and I out and about and walking at our favourite dog park just as the late December sun inches above the horizon.
3) Coco… back from the groomers and looking oh so spiffy.
4) Roland and I feeling very Santa Claus-ish as we deliver early Christmas presents to the grandkids. Catching the smiles on the moms and dads faces… so worth it.
5) Wrapping and placing the last Christmas present under the tree. Tucking it way under so that Roland doesn’t spot it. Feeling the first true stirrings of Christmas excitement.
6) Yesterday I had the first conversation with the people at HEPP (Health Employees Pension Plan) … hard to believe… but the ball has started rolling.
7) Hearing Roland call from the back door as he is about to head off to work, “Kissy-time”. Feeling his warmth in a hug that lingers after he goes.
I really believe that the stuff of life is in the little things.
So often the little things pass so quickly before we realize how important they are.
Your mood is lighter and happier–I’m so glad to see that. Great pictures, as always. Merry Christmas, dear lady and a Happy Boxing Day.
Your excitement and contentment is infectous!
I heard say that the secret to true happiness is in being satisfied and being grateful….
Having a blog helps focus on the good little things in everyday life that otherwise might slide by unnoticed.
Life is so pleasant when you learn to enjoy everyday things.
Have a wonderful new year.
