It's the Little Things

I have always believed we need to take time to enjoy the little things.  You know the cliches, 'take time to smell the roses', or the feeling of fresh grass under your toes, hearing a duck quack outside your window.  I always knew the little things could help a little day turn a little brighter, but I never realized how they could help on a bigger scale. 
First, my Daddy lived with me for a week.  A week where I am still trying to get my new apt together and sadly, was still living out of boxes because as fate would have it, I couldn't locate my hangars.  I was having a rather rough and long day at the new job and I got a text saying my Daddy had scoured my unpacked boxes and located my hangars! Such a small thing, but it made my day so much brighter as well as each subsequent day when I went to my closet to get my clothes for the day. 
Then there was the creepy waitor who gave me his number at lunch.  Though awkward, embarrassing, and in case you're wondering, NEVER gonna happen, it was nice to actually catch someone's attention.  Who knew seven little numbers could make me feel special even if it was only for a fleeting moment.  It's a little thing, but it meant something.
Then today, there's a lot going on in my rollercoaster brain right now as I am sure you can imagine, but I got my dining room decorated (mostly) and my Living room set up and my desk cleared and ready for work.  It's funny how these little things can make me feel like maybe I really have come home each day.  My personal stamp is on this little apartment, it no longer feels like a big hotel room.  I still hesitate when people ask where I am from.  My heart still wants to scream Athens, but Macon is my home for now. 
In the next 2 weeks my apartment will be completly set up and my training will be half through.  Things are falling into place.  It's stressfull and confusing and lots of other things all at the same time, but this year was all about being fearless and I don't know how much more fearless I can be right now.  I am here for a reason and on those hard days I just need to remember to enjoy the little things, after all, it's the little things that make the biggest imprint on a memory.
