Decided to start a series about The Little Things. I have always talked about little things in life. Recently I began reading about various topics. Amazing the little things many of us are missing in life every day.
As time zooms by, the little things become the big things in my life.
Thought I would share some of these findings with you.
Drinking my first cup of coffee in the morning is truly a little thing that has evolved into almost a spiritual experience of great importance in my daily life. For non-coffee drinkers, this might sound ridiculous, but for those of us who look forward to that first sip of dark richness and who depend on the depth of flavor to awaken us fully, then this drink and this act are immediately identifiable.
Such an experience extends to going for coffee with a friend or by myself (with a good book). Just walking into a coffeehouse, taken in the aroma as I walk through the door, enables me to recollect memories of my childhood kitchen and my father sipping his own full mug. A little indulgence like coffee just completes me.
I have always appreciated my days and the people with whom I share my time, but as the years go by, what I appreciate even more are the simple pleasures, the little things- that add such meaning to my daily life.
Sharing a photo of one of my favorite coffee mugs, Eeyore of course.

the little things, what a great idea.
Love the Eyore mug!
There is so much to stop, to see to remember and be thankful for. But you are right, the importance of the little things is critical.
Yesterday while we were walking I saw a butterfly that was near the small bunch of flowers in the greenway. I stopped. I didn’t think about that until just now. That little thing, that butterfly was enough to make me stop and consider
What a wonderful world!
Thanks, you know my love for Eeyore. He really does make me smile, even thought others look at him as the underdog. I love underdogs. 🙂
So happy you stopped and enjoyed the butterfly.
“What a wonderful world!” …Another song as you know!
as the supporter of a true college football underdog…
my dad always said root for the little guy
Such a lovely message. The little things in life are what make every day special.
You know I am all about those little things. Good to see you.
You know I have been thinking things over lately and it seems all I ever do is write on my PC and the best times I have are online. So if God willing I can land some good writing jobs and times get better for me I will start doing things that will lift my mood like perhaps taking myself out at least one day a week and having lunch somewhere.
I hope you can land a huge writing job. You so deserve it my friend. And I know it is out there somewhere.
Again a very interesting series. How similar we are. The first morning coffee is a “ceremony” for me. 😊 I really enjoy the terrace over a cup of coffee.
I have known for awhile we are on the same page my friend. 🙂
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very happy to have met you (although only online)
I hope we stay in touch, no matter what happens here.
I hope so too. We need to agree on where we could be in contact (if this page suddenly “disappears”) 🙂
