A challenging week.....

Its been a challenging week.

Challenging at work...challenging at home...

Not in a terribly bad way, just in a massively busy...'pulled in about 10 different directions' kind of way.

Which made me think, now that I have come out 'the other side'.....

About how 'sometimes' all those small things can appear to be monumentally bigger than they actually are,









and how that stress carries onto those closest to me.....

I tend to retreat into myself when I'm stressed, when my coping skills are pretty much depleted.

Even though I make it my own personal mantra to always try to remember those small things that count - sometimes those other 'big' things just keep on coming in and take up 'space'....

They tend to cloud the way that I am seeing things.....

There are a lot of things to be grateful for...

I know this much is true.....

This week, these are my FIVE small things that count....

1. Enduring love (OK, not really a 'small' thing !!!) ...
2. Music to listen to...
3. Movies to watch...
4. Time to unwind...
5. Brekkie rice...

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