Turning the page on my calendar is always an exciting time for me. There is something so simple, but it gives me hope and the possibility of change. My particular calendar also includes an inspirational quote every month, and February seemed to be very special. "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were great things." ~ Robert Brault
As I took a moment to reflect on this quote, I realized that it can apply to many aspects of my life: work, personal and spiritual . He reminded me that the little things that come our way can really say more.
I recently read the story of a busy mother to a local grocery store. She was in a hurry, as many of us are still, and I wanted to be in and out of the store as quickly as possible. As she approached the cashier, she happened to get in line behind a woman who had her money to the fund, a penny at a time. Rather than becoming impatient, the cashier waited and helped the old client count on the necessary change. Irritated, the busy mother happened to look down and notice his young daughter looking, taking as the cashier treated older women with compassion. She then realized that she was not embarrassed at all, but rather, a small act of kindness fund led to a lesson in patience that day.
I also saw an important lesson recently. I decided to get a new phone and entered the store an hour before closing. I quickly realized that I am the fourth online customer and I could be waiting awhile. I'm sure the same was associated mathematics, knowing he would not leave work on time. But without hesitation, he treated each of us like we were the only guests there and I wondered if he had a family to get or plan put out just to take care of us all. This experience showed me the life lesson of self-denial; no matter what that meant for the partner, he put our needs before his.
Every day we are surrounded by moments like this, moments when we should just enjoy the little things in life and maybe even discover an important lesson that we can share with others . I challenge you to find and enjoy these moments and transmit them; I would venture to say your days and weeks will become brighter and more meaningful. After all, is not that what life is all about?
Please tell me a time when you found joy in the little things! I would like for you to share your special moments, and maybe even learned a lesson in the comments below.
