It's all in the little things...

I know that I have written on this subject before, but it is always something that comes back to me.

When days are long and times are tough always celebrate the little things in life.

Whether it is waking up on time to get on the road to beat traffic.

Whether is is having just enough creamer left for your morning coffee.

Whether is is being able to spend a little extra time with a loved one.

Even thought these things are seem pretty miniscule they all play an important factor in life.

Today, I had just made it into work when I started to see reports that all 6 lanes (northbound and southbound) of the highway I take to work were shut down. All because a dump truck was driving with their bed in the up position and ripped all the power lines down.

Today, I am thankful that I work an earlier shift.

I don't like coffee. I LOVE coffee. I need it on a daily basis in order to function. I can't drink it black I need to have some flavoring in it. Last week, I was low on creamer and had just enough to fix my second cup for the day. I had my coffee it was a good day.

The next morning I arrived at work and realized I had forgotten to bring creamer to work.

I am thankful for loving co-workers who also share my addition and offered to share their creamer.

I live away in a different state from all of my family. My in-laws live more then 45 minutes from me.

I am a tried and true Marmy's girl. I talk to her almost every day of the week and some days we talk a few times on the phone, in addition to text messages throughout the day. Every moment that I get to spend with my Marmy makes my life better.

Don't take the little things in your life for-granted.

There are people that would do anything to have a job.

There are people that can't afford to buy coffee and creamer.

There are people that would give anything to spend more time with a loved on who is no longer with us.

Life is a wonderful thing.

Even when the day is looking pretty grey and nothing is going right. Find that one little shimmer of hope in the day. 

Marmy and Me the first day she got to my house. 

I get to keep her until the end of the month! I may not let her go home :)
