Today, i couldn't find anything to blog about. Since I was having trouble deciding on what to write about, I went to ask my younger sister. She is always full to the brim of little different ideas. Today for her blog, she wrote about our shopping trip yesterday. As she sat on the couch next to me spewing out one idea after another, I realized something- I never take joy in small and simplistic things anymore!
While my sister could come up with many topics just based off of our trip yesterday, all I could really think about was the migraine I was having and the only thing I really significantly noticed about the day before was the ache in my feet after walking around the mall for roughly 7 hours with no stops. My sister easily finds joy in tiny things- for example, we stopped for donuts after about 4 hours of shopping. She saw this as a great thing, and therefore remembered it. She talked on to no end about the new clothing she got as well- something that didn't really thrill me, yet was of great importance to her. I think it has something to do with being young. I remember when I was little, I'd get excited if my family told me we were going out to the park, or out to eat- the same things that excite my sister currently. As I got older, I found bigger things to find joy in and as I did, the smaller joys faded out into the background. These smaller joys shouldn't fade just because you find something bigger... because one day, you won't be able to find anything bigger... and then, what will you do? Moral of this post... take time to stop and smell the roses and don't let the small joys of life pass you by. Don't get so caught up in yourself that you LOSE yourself. Maddie
