it's the little things

(BYU campus today)


“It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.

"So it is."

"And freezing."

"Is it?"

"Yes," said Eeyore.

"However," he said, brightening up a little,
"we haven't had
an earthquake lately.”



Throughout this last year I have thought about the idea presented in this little quote, (yup, it's been a year today). Sometimes it's really hard to look beyond the hard things that are in your face, and notice the good things just a little bit in the distance. It's being able to look at life for what it really is, as opposed to what it seems to be. And I can honestly say that I have had many times where I have really been grateful that there "hasn't been an earthquake lately", as opposed to focusing on the fact that "it's still snowing".

And I think there is something to be said about that.
