Well, this last week has been pretty eventful. I'm officially getting my own place, and I move in Saturday (as long as everything remains as according to planned.) Anyways, this all gave me some random thoughts to ponder upon. It seems like so many people have forgotten about the little things in life.
As of Saturday, I'll be free of my 8x10 prison cell. Peace. Solitude. And no listening to annoying bullshit. It will be nice. I really got to thinking about the little things today though, when I was sitting alone in my room. Listening to some Shinedown, letting the bass thunder against my back through my chair. I closed my eyes, laced my fingers behind my head and leaned back. It was nice. I stayed that way for several songs, and halfway though .45, I felt something land in my lap. Now mind you I have 4 cats, so when I opened my eyes to see Jessie smiling at me, well, my day completely lit up.
It's the little things in life that make it worth living. Independence, freedom, surprise visits from my gorgeous girlfriend, and the smile on her face when I gave her the gifts I had gotten her for her Birthday/Christmas. Little things. Those little things, will make the rest of my week so much better.
I know this is different from my normal style, of pointing out the flaws with humanity. I guess today just has me in an abnormally good mood. So think of the things that make you happiest. Maybe it's that good morning text message from someone you love. Maybe it's the feel of horsepower under your fingertips. Maybe it is simply knowing that you're making a difference in someones life today. Find it. Take hold of it, and let that be the thing that drives you on. Trust me, the little things in life, are the ones that are most important.
