I have found a new appreciation for being unemployed and a renewed spirit for the little things, Several months ago I was seriously thinking about re-entering the working world. A deep heart to heart with Captain Crusty made me realize there were many things I could still do to fill that need to help others and not just watch the days pass by. Its the little things. Sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee watching Holly and Cali playing in the yard, thankful to share my time and love with them. Coffee and Good Morning America every morning with my husband. Thursdays actually leaving the house to run errands for the week and to stop by some of my favorite places to browse. Visiting a very dear friend I use to work with catching up. Going to Safeway on $5.00 Fridays and seeing a weary man with a young boy in line holding a $5.00 bouquet of roses-obviously for someone special-possibly all he could afford. To the man and his boy Go ahead of me. To the checker Add those to my purchases. A little thing. Fifteen to thirty minutes everyday helping take care of some sweet elderly people that I have fallen in love with. You know, little things.I am finding that growing older is more about paying attention to those little things and realizing that in the big picture, those are the things that fill an empty hole I once had. Lots of BIG things I can do nothing about have been pushed to the back burner. This getting old stuff isnt so bad and the little things remind me I still have much more to enjoy.
