It's the little things...

I had a rough day today...for reasons that I won't get into. But, needless to say, it was one of those days that you just have to cry it out. I spent a portion of my day feeling sorry for myself, but by the end of the day, I came to a realization: I have amazing people in my life. My husband. My friends. My coworkers. And sometimes it's the little things these people in our lives that make such a difference. I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.

L - Thank you for always being right next door when I need you. For being there when I need someone to vent to and for also understanding when I just don't want to talk about it. I love that you're never afraid to let your voice be heard and that you'll advocate for those who are important to you. You're a great teacher and an incredible friend. Today - thank you for taking my recess duty for me. Such a small act of kindness in the big scheme of things, but it really brightened my day. Thank you.

D - Thank you for your advice and encouraging words. For being real when I need you to be, but also giving me hope. I cherish our friendship....the conversations we have during an afternoon coffee or neighborhood run. Today - thank you for being a shoulder for me to cry on and for "running it out" with me. 4 miles never felt so good! Thank you.

And to my next door neighbor - thank you for helping me haul 8 mulch bags from the backyard to the curb.
