It's the little things

I was in a bit of a Jonah mood yesterday.  A bit disgruntled and frustrated about some things.

We all get there from time to time.

I left my house in a huff and drove to mail some Christmas parcels.  When I got to the post office, the line was long and I could see the exasperation on many faces.

I decided to read emails and think happy thoughts if it killed me.  I decided to practice gratitude.

It didn't kill me.

I got to the head of the line, thanked the lady who was serving me for her hard work and smiled.

I was repaid by her smile and left the Post Officer lighter in every way then when I went in.

Later we went around the corner and bought our Christmas tree and a couple of wreaths.  The stand was so close that it only made sense for Barry and our son to walk up and drag it home after my daughter and I picked them out and paid.  When I told the tree seller that's what we would do, he insisted on throwing the tree in the back of his truck and bringing it right over.  It was a big tree and heavy, but he was so happy we'd bought a tree from him he was happy to help.

Small kindnesses.  Much appreciated.  I am holding them in my heart to drive the grumpies away...



Be the Change you want to see in the world.  One act at a time.  It really does make a difference and is important during this especially hectic month.

And yes, we got a lot more snow since Sunday morning...




Have a lovely Tuesday and stay safe out there!
