The Little Moments

The Little Moments that turn out to be so much more. 

The day started off as any other Monday. No one wanted to wake up and get out of bed as the alarm sounded for the third time. Slowly as we gained the push we needed to start the day, we got dressed in outfits chosen alone, for the littles that was excitement in itself. Into the kitchen to have yogurt with cookie crumbles on top, making the morning mood anything but grumpy. School drop-offs were smooth as they ran into their classrooms to say Hi to their friends they missed over the weekend, as I headed to work still smiling from the amazing Saturday I had days before, even with the dull cloud covered sky hiding the warmth of the Autumn sun. To a day filled with unknown issues needing to be solved, to happy conversations as the customers finding out their Friday problem was resolved to satisfaction. To those calls which made you feel like crying with the ones that didn’t have the best of luck. While trying to hold strong to those happy moments from hours and days before. 

Picking up the tired children as the sky slowly grew darker, knowing that this night could turned out one of two ways, we could try to stay happy or give ourselves over to the side of driving mom crazy. Luckily everyone chose happy which allowed us to take in our surroundings and spot up in the sky reds, pinks, orange and purple tinted clouds. As we pulled out of that parking lot ready to head home, we were so in love with the colors in the sky we decided we didn’t want to stop watching and drive away from them, so instead we followed the setting sun home. Now we may have ended up heading away from home, but as we followed those beautiful colors until they were no more than a memory we were content. 

It’s those little moments that seem like nothing in the beginning, but turn out to be so much more after they end. Take in those little moments, try to counter the bad. Smile through the stress, while trying to find those little things that will make you happy again. 

And remember we write our own destinies. Think about how you want to write yours.
