Small Stuff, REALLY.....

it's the time we are walking through Walmart and Larbo grabs my hand.........
it's the one more quick kiss before the lil one catches the bus
it's the co-worker that says thank you......
it's the big one that takes an extra minute on getting his hair just right
it's the text from a friend that says "I miss you".......
it's the extra quick kiss from hubby before he walks out the door for work......
it's the girl bouncing down the stairs feeling confident cause she feels good..
it's the venting with a cousin
it's the chatty Kathy the big one turns into when he feels good about him
it's the donuts Papaw brings by in the morning just because
it's the wink from across the room, from hubby
it's the pot of coffee that's already made in the morning
it's the hug from a friend
it's the kissy kisses Grandma gives on the phone
it's the flea market find Grandpa drops off on the porch when we're not home
it's the niece/nephew that says something sweet
it's the positive comment on a facebook status.......
it's the concern I hear in someones voice
it's the phone call that says, hey, how are you?
it's the quick cup of coffee I can share with anyone close
it's the dog that curls up on my lap just to get pet
it's sun on the porch on a warm autumn day
it's the "dinners so good mom" I hear
it's the celebration of a good grade I get with any of my children
it's the instructor during workout that makes eye the contact, that says, good job
it's the email that says "good job"
it's the text from a friend that says "WE did it"
it's the <3 on a text or fb post
it's the "I love you" that's spoken at the end of a phone conversation
it's the "kiss the kids for me"
it's the laughter shared with a friend, anytime
it's the email forward, I received
it's the reminder I get about a friend, from another friend.......
it's the extra snuggle at night, just because
it's the compliment when it isn't expected

it's the small positive stuff that makes all the difference in the world!  It's the stuff we don't sweat and just do that  makes the difference,  for me!!!!

I never really thought about it until my coworker (really employee) walked in this Friday and said to me: "Chris you can sleep well tonight"!  I didn't talk about it much at work, but the lunatic on the loose that was shooting people had me crazed and insane and my some of my coworkers realized that and this gentleman, took the moment to come in, before our shift (I'm already working) to smile at me (that I understand you smile) and let me know, he knew I was hurting on the inside!

Then I realized how much the "small stuff" the stuff that doesn't take any time or any effort, how much that stuff really means!  What a difference the small stuff makes!

So as we are not supposed to "sweat the small stuff" what a difference the "small stuff" makes in our lives!!

For me, it's just that moment where you know someone is thinking about you and takes the moment to express it.
