Little Things

1. Writer's block is never fun.
2. Notecards are truly amazing.
3. Harmonizing to "Tonight Tonight" can sound pretty cool.
4. The little things are such a blessing.

Today, I woke up and climbed out of my bed. The first thing I thought was, "Today is going to be a struggle." Now, typically I am a morning person, but today just I wasn't. I couldn't think in my writing class nor could I clear my mind enough to meditate in my Buddhism class. This morning was simply a ride on the 'struggle bus'.

Then afternoon came, which was better. I wiped the sleep from my eyes and put some favorite music on. I got most of my homework finished and I got my head wrapped around a few projects. I went to Spanish tutoring (line of the night: If you eat bacon before you swim, you'll die.) and finally bought some milk. I got a letter from a friend who I see every day, but it still made me smile. I ate dinner with a few friends and ended up laughing most of the time. Then, I ended my night sitting on my floor, back to back with a close friend, talking and attempting to do homework.

Every thing listed made me a bit happier. And everything on it was a little thing, seemingly not too exciting. But everything did make me feel better. Finishing over-due assignments, getting a letter from a person I just saw, talking with someone. I am finding that its the little things that make life...

Well...life.

Peace!
