A new day....

It's the small things that count......


Sometimes I forget the good things that are happening;


I shouldn't though.


There are a lot of bad things that happen in this world;


My little world, and the greater world that surrounds me...


But then I make myself stop and think..


Of all the things that are good,


and even great.


Bad things have happened to me of course;


I've nursed my beautiful son,


and cried tears over my sleeping angel.


I've slept alone....


and loved endlessly.


But  it all comes back to me eventually,


As a person....


I can decide on how I should feel. 


So, today my FIVE 'Small things that count' are:


  1. My son's laughter that makes me smile
  2. An Autumn leaf I found while walking
  3. A heater to keep me warm
  4. My book - which means I can read
  5. Photographs to cherish memories

These are the small things that count...........

  1. Thank you so much for this!
    My small things that count:
    -Crusoe's (speechless) response to the hundreds of glow-in-the-dark stars I put up yesterday.
    -My favorite tea in my favorite cup
    -Crusoe's storybooks - which means I get to live their magic again.

  3. my small things that count are..

    - having a roof over my head (when others don't)
    - being able to articulate how I feel
    - marinated fetter cheese.
