The Little Things

In one of my all-time favorite movies, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Bailey, the girl who has leukemia says,

"Maybe the truth is, there's a little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things."


And that's how I felt today. Like I was stringing, teensy, little things that just brought my life together - gave it purpose.

5. When nurses think that you can't hear them talking about you behind the glass window... yep I heard every word :P

6. I went up to the pharmacy today, handed the lady a sheet of paper, and said, "I need to get this prescription filled.....
...........you guessed it. it wasn't a prescription. Alec and I got a good laugh out of that one...especially since I blamed it on him :)

7. I cleaned the bathroom in 20 minutes today. Record time.

8. I went shopping with Rach. We were actually successful! We also got half priced frapps. It was only worth it cause they were half priced :)

9. Good first activity of the summer with Allie: eating California Tortilla (for the first time...may or may not be better than Chipotle!)

10. I am justified by grace as a gift through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24) No more law. Just grace. Thank you, Jesus. I needed a lot of it today.

Anyway, all of these little things brought me joy today - joy unspeakable :) I get to go on a retreat with Rach this weekend. OH! and my wonderful, creative, English-major best friend Brittney Morris started a blog too! yay.

Life isn't perfect. But if you remember the little things, you can find the joy that our Creator intended for us :)
