it's the little things in life.

Sometimes it’s the little things in life that can make us the most happy. I was reminded of this important lesson as I sat in a terminal in Minneapolis waiting for my flight to Philly. There was a four year old boy sitting across from me and he was obviously grumpy and wanted the whole world to know. He was crying and pouting, fighting with all his might to get beyond the grasp of his frustrated and slightly embarrassed mother. She tried everything to appease him, she played with him, gave him milk, pleaded with him but nothing seemed to work. Until she presented him with a box of crayola crayons that is. At the very sight of those crayons his face brightened and his little arms stretched out to grab his favorite.

Now as I begin my Junior year it ever so important to hold tight to this lesson. Sometimes life seems so complicated and serious, but I’ve got to remember that it’s the little things in life that can make us the most happy. Little things like playing a round of golf with my father, eating a nice meal out with my mother, or seeing good friends after a long period of time. It’s these little things that we have to cherish when we’re grumpy and our worlds are falling apart.
