Thankful For The Little Things

21.  I will admit I am stealing this idea from a good friend, but only because it was such a big thing to be thankful for.  The small things that someone does that makes a huge difference in your day.  I think of 3 things instantly that have happened in the last few weeks.  Now don't think if I don't mention something you have done it means I wasn't thankful for it. 
 
1. I had a really bad day a few weeks ago.  It was Nathan's day off and knowing that it had been a bad day for me, he went to the store.  I came home and on the counter was a piece for my Disney Village I had been wanting and dark chocolate hot cocoa that I kept eyeing at the store. 
 
2. I have a friend at work that I have asked for her Mom's pie crust recipe every year at Thanksgiving time.  Every year she brings it to me. Every year I buy crusts instead and misplace the recipe.  This year she eyeballed me and threatened to start charging, but did infact bring the recipe AGAIN.  Thank you!  This year the pie crusts were made and in the oven right now...I hope they turn out!
 
3.  My sweet friend who brings me a copy of one of our favorite TV shows on DVD, because we no longer have FX :)
 
 
I try to do these small things for others and I hope it shows, I won't stop.  Even if I think it goes unnoticed.  Because I don't always say it, but I notice it!

You know, the little things really do make HUGE differences in our lives. I love when we can take a few moments to reflect on the little things and really appreciate the good.

The "Little" things are just the best. It is awesome how sometimes the small things mean so much.
