It’s the little things. Count your blessings. Pay it forward. Be thankful. Be humble. Sayings we all know, but they are so easy to overlook. We all get wrapped up in our busy lives and put things off for tomorrow, but what if that tomorrow doesn’t come? Over the past month, I have scooped those words up and embraced what each has to offer. So many people in my life have shown me an abundance of love and support….all in the midst of their own busy lives. I am humbled at their gestures and thankful for their friendships. It really is the little things that have the biggest impact. I seem to have a “secret friend” at work. On Monday October 13th, there was a note on my desk with a bottled smoothie and two power bars. I don’t know the handwriting, and there was no signature. I taped that note to my desk and I read it every day, and every day those words lift my spirit. Today I came in to find another note with four simple words. That note was nestled in a whimsical bowl with four incredible chocolate bars. I can’t even put into words how much I appreciate these “pick-me-ups”. No one will divulge who it is, they simply say, “maybe you are not supposed to know.” I suppose I am not, but I hope they know how much this means to me, and I hope that I will get to thank her/him/them when this is all over with. Do something nice for someone. Make a difference. Lift a spirit. Buy the car behind you their coffee, leave a note or a candy bar on a co-worker’s desk. Buy the man on the corner a meal. Not all battles are visible. You never know what someone may be going through and the difference your act of kindness could make.
