BYBS: Little things

May 18th, 2008

“…for her, every day was the same, and when each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”
- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Sometimes, we all ignore the little things that happen to us daily. But do you know that these things give us more happiness than the big ones?

  • My cousin who lives in another city is just one phone call or text message away. I asked him to accompany me to buy a laptop and he readily agreed. Without him, I would have been given a defective product but since he was able to check it the same day we bought the unit, we were able to exchange it with another one.
  • My brother who will be starting college in a month sits with me until 3am almost daily. You know, I just ignore his presence before but just the other day, when I was not feeling that good, I realized that his presence is a comfort to me.
  • A friend of mine takes care of business when I am asleep. I really thank God that she’s there to grab when I can’t.

God bless everyone. Have a productive week ahead :)

    When you only acknowledge the big blessings you miss out on a lot. Good for you t realize that the little things really add up and overflow your life with blessings.

    You’re so right and I need to be reminded of all of these blessings from time to time. I get overwhelmed and forget. That’s why BYB is so good for me. Thank you.

    Coincidences are anything but random. Look for them in your life. Listen to your heart.

    Taking time to reflect on the small blessings is a wonderful way to see how great life is.
