Thinking outloud.
I wrote a journal entry a while back about my trip to Portland and through the comments I received about it, I realized for the first time, I notice and completely appreciate the small things. In fact, it is the small things that get me, and lack there of that will lose me just as quickly.
The simple things. The things someone does for you without thinking, without having too. The "just because"...just because you are beautiful...just because you are having a bad day...just because I love you...just because you are you and I wanted too. The just because I thought of you.
For me the small things are the most important. The simple things. The things we do, maybe in the beginning, that somehow get overlooked in the middle. The goodnight kiss, that has been forgotten because we sleep together every night now and there just isn't a reason anymore...that initial hug at the end of both of your long days, the one that says I've missed you without saying anything at all...holding hands for no apparent reason except to feel your touch...simple things that mean so much....and when they genuinely love to make you smile.
I think when we don't appreciate the small things we miss everything.
The smile in their eyes when you walk into the room...the times we do nothing at all and have so much fun together...the laughter about things we can't even remember, but neither of us will ever forget...the way they make you feel when you just don't feel like feeling.
When we don't notice the simple things we begin to take for granted what we think will always be there, not remembering tomorrow may never come. Not realizing how fast time goes and that you should appreciate every moment as you did the first.
