Small Things

Today started out as a not so good day. I still was not feeling well.  But then something wonderful happened that changed that. Dalton. My youngest son has definitely had his share of challenges in his life that were out of his control. Today was a great day for him, he was on top for a change and not playing catch up.  It suited him.  It reminded me that all the small things are what defines greatness, and I hope that he has many more successes in which to enjoy.  When we do everyday task that are easy to us, we never think about how many people must work twice as hard to do the same thing.  We never think about handicaps that are not easily spotted.  Maybe our eyesight is a challenge, maybe our joints are stiff, maybe we are not social butterflies or  maybe there are lots of maybes we can't imagine or even comprehend. We are all looking for the big things to happen sometimes we are so in search of them to change us and change our lives we miss the small things.  The things that make our lives wonderful. We really must appreciate the small things and how difficult they can be to achieve for many of us. Today, my son made me forget that I did not feel good, and instead remember how wonderful he is, how many challenges he overcomes and how proud I am of him.  We need to remember the small things, which can be very big wonderful things indeed. It's just so beautiful when that boy smiles.  Today that smile is more important than my journey, him reaching a milestone on his journey. I am so thankful....... today turned out great!!
