It's the little things, really

Friday night, a little miracle happened. Phil and I walked in the rain.

Now, sure, if that would have happened five months ago I certainly would not have considered it a miracle. But moving from Fargo to a desert has definitely changed my perspective. That was the first chance we had in 3 months to feel raindrops trickle down our faces, or splash in fresh puddles on the sidewalk. It was unbelievably refreshing.

So it makes me wonder; what other little gifts from God have I taken for granted? I look for big things to get excited about, to measure my successes and my quality of life. But then a walk in the rain happens, and I remember that a great life is not about drama. It is about the walks in the rain, the phone call from a friend, the good-night kisses. It's about the little things.

Enjoy!
