What’s something small that immediately makes your day better?
Something small that makes my day better is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing is a something I suppose. But what I mean by that is that I don’t want anything to happen. I like the ordinary, the usual. No changes.
Found this out big time yesterday when at 6:30 am my next door neighbour messaged me to see if there was anybody here who could run over and look after her kids as her partner had been taken by ambulance to the ER because of chest pain.
I was just taking my first sip of coffee. I had my journal beside me and my jade roller. About to enjoy a long slow morning as Sid had no school and I wasn’t going into work until about 9:30.
Found out I’m actually not very adaptable. My brain was only in first gear so I told her to bring the kids here, which she did around 7 am. They are 2 and 5. It was their first time being in my house and I’d really only said hello, good morning etc to them prior to yesterday morning.
Thankfully, of course because Sid is also 5, we have a house full of toys to entertain small kids.
It all went well, there were no problems but it kind of shook the way the rest of my day went. I missed my quiet morning.
Okay get over it, it’s not that big of a deal, (I tell myself). Imagine being in her shoes and waking up to a text message saying your husband had been taken by EMS from work to the ER. Imagine that feeling.
So yeah, a little thing that I’d love to have happen, to make my day better, is nothing at all.
Not sure if the video will play but the kids & I were sharing their oldest snapchat memories, this one’s about 10 years ago
