The Little Things...

I think it's so easy for everyone (especially including myself) to get wrapped up in all the stuff we have to do. There are a lot of days that I think, "If I can just make it through today." Of course then I think that for the next 5 days until a whole week has passed and I don't even remember what I did. Well lately I've been thinking more about the little things and trying to work on keeping myself in a better mood, which can be hard. It's so easy for me to get sad and not even realize why I feel that way. So, on to the point of this post... my Papa's brother has been very sick for awhile and was in the hospital and is now at a place where he is getting a lot of therapy. I've thought several times that I should go visit and today I decided to do just that. I spent over an hour with Uncle Charlie and it was great. It was tough seeing him not doing too well, and he looks so much like my Papa, which brought back some tough memories of when my Papa was in a similar situation. But, we had a great visit and I really enjoyed getting to talk to him, and at times just sitting and not saying much at all. I am a true believer in family and the fact they are what keep you going. My uncle is a precious man and I'm so glad I went to see him. I hope to see him again very soon, and even though I have missed a lot of times when I could have gone to see him or any other family member... I just try to be thankful for the times that I do get to spend with family... even if it is only a little time. If anyone is reading this, I encourage you to go see someone (friend or family) that you haven't seen in awhile, or call them, you just might make a big difference in their day!
