The Little-Big Things

Enjoy the little things for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things.

Husband saw a small corner table along the road, put out for the trash collector. Knowing me well, Husband retrieved the table.

I love free. Free stuff. Stuff that’s free. I love free stuff.

This table fits perfectly on the porch, aside the rockers. Planter on top, still room for two glasses of lemonade… or beer.

It’s a simple addition to the porch, but one which brings me joy. Every time I water the plants or sit for a sip of lemonade… or beer, this table says, “hey, thanks for saving my unwanted butt and don’t I look like a princess in the corner here?”

Yes, dear Small Corner Table, you do. You really do. Now, hand me my drink and let’s watch the birds and the squirrels…

Here is a short practice that you can do right now to cultivate intentional mind-body connection for the purpose of embodying noticing “the little things which are really big things”:

Sit quietly, apps closed, phone muted. Close your eyes and take three “cleansing” breaths. (Breathe in for four counts, hold for four counts, and release gently for as long as you can. Do this three times. This centers your attention and pulls your energies down into your body.) Now, open your eyes and look around you as if seeing everything for the very first time. Simple but eye-openings and heart-softening. How many “little things” can you see? Enjoy!

Edgy, joyful, pondering…
