"Enjoy the little things; you may look back and realize they were the big things."
This quote makes me think of many times in our lives when we are so busy planning BIG things that we forget that it's the many little things that really make a difference. I remember a story from the Oprah Show when she interviewed a mom who was dying of cancer and her daughter was asked what she remembered after her mother passed away. Her favorite memory was eating Cheerios late at night with her mother; it wasn't a big trip or a big thing. This also reminds me of the time that we shared with our exchange student who we hosted for one month during this past summer. I was so busy planning our outings and special trips, but in the end, when I asked him what he enjoyed the most, he replied that he enjoyed "spending time with family and especially making waffles and pancakes for breakfast." A humble reminder for me to continue to look out for the little things each day.
