Do the small but important things in life while you still can – that’s what I keep learning 🙂
It’s 5 : 13 PM on day 873 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, take off my dirty t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on, brush my teeth, feed myself butternut and chicken curry for breakfast, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, read Genesis 43, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, listen to music, feed myself rice and curry for lunch and make sandwiches as part of Virginia’s Sandwich Run.
Today has been one of those lazy Saturdays I spent time talking to my grandma even though I no longer understand most of what she says I know that one day she won’t be around and when that day comes I don’t want to regret not spending enough time with her when she was alive. Do you take time out to do the small but important things in life?
I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
Sounds like you had a very productive day, Nisha!★ As my friend Melinda Marchiano (@1ballerina) has said: “Little things ARE the big things!”
…and there’s this quote, by Marian Wright Edelman:
“We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily difference we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.”
I love how you’re keeping in touch with your grandma. I’m sure that means a lot to her, even if she can’t express it well, verbally.
I think you’re awesome. It’s great that you’ve been continuing your “Disability of the Day” awareness posts. I see you’ve got another great pre-birthday charity project underway, too? Stellar.★ Love you!♥
Melinda is right the little things are the big things in fact I often say that to people. Yes I have started another pre-birthday campaign hopefully it succeeds 🙂 Love you too!
