Trainer Notes: It's the little things!

It's the little things in life that make me happy!  What about you?

I went to Walmart for groceries last night.  (That's always fun.)  Guess what I found?  Major clearance items!  Nothing can truly beat tank tops for a mere $3.  I loaded up my cart.  I found a pair of pants and a cotton dress too!  Jackpot!

It's amazing how good a new $3 tank can make you feel! :)  I'm not sure if it was because it was new or because it was a good deal.  I won't lie, the thrill of a sale is pretty awesome.  Sometimes I wonder if I have what it takes to become a hoarder.  Not the dirty, "won't take the trash out kind of hoarder".  More like the "crazy old lady who has 20 lbs of flour in her pantry even when she doesn't have kids at home anymore" kind of hoarder.  (That may or may not be me now, I'll never tell!)

Like I said, sometimes it's just the little things in life that can bring a smile to your face! It could be a $3 tank top, a big hug and "thank you" from your son because you bought him Duck Dynasty folders, a snuggle with your four year old while watching "UP" for the millionth time,  scratching your 5 year old's back at bedtime because that's the only time it's itchy, letting your baby scratch up your face because that's his way of loving on you, and sharing your life's story with new friends with laughter after tears.  Those were my little things yesterday!  I pray that I always remain thankful for those little things.

These little things bring so much joy do my day!  I think that God blesses me with these "little things" as a reminder of just how much He loves me.  I just have to remember not to become so focused on the "big things" that I miss the little blessings that pop up in my day.  I just might miss out on some of the "best things"!

What are some of  the little things that bring a smile to your face?
What are those little things that God places in your day as blessings?

If you look, I bet you can find some! :)
