I love this saying! As I get closer to my 30th Birthday (in five weeks!), I see this saying as essential for me to remember!
I know life is often recollected on the big events in our lives, but in my life, some of the best moments are things that happened in my day to day moments. I am extemely lucky in the fact that I was born to two parents that made every effort for my sister and I to have a good childhood. So some of those little things in life that bring a smile to my face when thought of are as follows:
When my family would go on road trips, my dad would make us leave early in the morning. I have NEVER been a morning person. But my dad is! So we'd get everything packed into the car, buckle our seat belts, and right before we backed out of the drive-way, my dad would flip imaginary switches and make an announcement that we were setting off in the voice of a pilot! Blair and I, as tired as we were, always got a kick out of it!
My mom has many comforting qualities, but one that was essential for a mother of mine to have was patience. From day one, I have been too sensitive and worried too much. I can remember when I was younger my mother would drive Blair and I to school, and on rainy days she always indulged in my quirky faults! You see, I sometimes made us late for school on rainy days because I was busy trying to save all the worms that I could from dying later from drying up on the sidewalk! I'm sure she had a few laughs at my expense!
And as for Blair, we are two very different people! But I think one thing we can agree on is our love for the show, "Friends"! And for some reason, she and I can quote almost any line from that show and know exactly what episode it came from and why we chose to recite it! Unfortunately, this can be a bit annoying for people around us, but I love that she understands me in that sense.
So here is to 30 wonderful years of memories of the "little things"! ♥
