But that's not why I'm writing this.
In our busy lives it's so hard to find the time to do wonders! We feel like we need to stop everything, we're doing, we need to devote ours of planning, searching and preparation to carry out a project. And truly wonderful projects may be do take longer than we can afford.
So...we never do them.We get so stuck on the big picture sometimes, that we forget about the little pieces, comprising it. That is why it's so easy in a relationship and generally in life to reach a screeching halt. Because there's 'nothing we can do right now'. And we keep digging ourselves in the same hole, day after day, until we finally forget everything about the picture at all and we keep looking in the tiny little space before our noses, without noticing the world slipping by.
To this I have a different suggestion for you. It's important to accept that any major change, project or enterprise may take longer than we are capable of carrying on. But that doesn't go to say that we should only aim for the stars.
It's the same in a relationship. And, believe me, I don't claim to know everything about relationships. A lot of the time I suck at it myself. But there's one little truth that I've discovered and savor that I'd like to share with you. It's called: "The Little Things". The little things are the fundament of love. The way you look, the way you listen, the bunch of flowers, which you may have stolen from the neighbor's garden for all I care, the song, the dance, the little extra touch in making a mundane event 'special'. I feel that this is what keeps us going.
And surprisingly, I feel thankful that I am in the situation I am, when I can't have all the little things be major projects. Because it's hard to top a surprise trip to Paris...but thankfully I don't have to. Because even a special lunch shows that you don't have to be reaching for the stars every time to show love and appreciation. You just show you're there.
So, I just try to be more inspired. And for now it seems to work...
What is love?
Doing little things.
