In 2003 singer/songwriter India.Arie blessed us with her ode to simplicity titled "Little Things". It's the little things that make us smile- a call to say happy birthday, cute shoes, a kiss from a loved one.
While at work this afternoon I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and extremely stressed to the max yet a client reminded me of the little things, turning the tables on me. She said "whenever you go to your happy place, good things follow". Imagine that- an 11 year old "therapizing" the therapist. The little things indeed.
So I went to my happy place inside of my mind and visualized my husband and son. No more than 10 minutes later my son accidentally pocket dialed me from my mother's phone...and my client just shook her head in affirmation. Through his squeaky little 9 month old coos he told me he loved me and I replied the same. The little things indeed.
Let the church say Amen.
