Those little moments that mean more than a little


For the new year, I am going to attempt positivity whenever possible.  This is not as difficult or different from what I have attempted in years past.  But maybe more in my forethought when thinking about events that may happen, have happened, or are currently pressing to me as of this moment.

It seems that moments that forever change your feelings, opinions, or thoughts about something or someone are not huge, monumental events.  That is usually what breaks the camel's back, so to speak, but not the actual moment in which change occurred.  This change may have been undetectable, or incredibly visible.  In reflecting back on moments of my own, I have been forced to examine what actions I may have partaken in as well. 

This year, I am determined to look at things in a new light.  I hope to not over analyze, but rather pay attention to those small moments.  Those small exchanges between the guy I am dating where we are able to not only be together, but hold hands, exchange a glance, experience a moment, or not let go of him while embracing until he lets go of me.  Those small moments between the kids and I were they are learning who I am, and I am learning who they are.  What seems like insignificant moments between family and friends where I can soak in the seconds instead of rushing through the hours.

This year, my little moments will be encouraged, cultivated, and celebrated.
