All the Small Things

Maybe it's because nothing dramatic or big is going down right now in my life, but the last week has really been all about the small things. I am like this Market Basket employee who went bananas over bananas:

Do you see it? Taste the rainbow... tastes like bananas.

It's like the brain, craving stimulation, finds excitement in the tiniest things.

I earned a $2 tip on the newspaper route!

I didn't fall down today on the newspaper route!

The Baby took a two-hour nap!

I saw a skunk!

It was also my birthday week, which was full of small things that meant a lot to me. Friends came over and brought dinner and cakes. The Husband remembered my birthday for the first time ever (it has only taken him 11 years). My parents gave me a nice raincoat and socks.

And so I stumble onwards (literally; this newspaper route is making me feel old and clumsy) happily.

This afternoon we're going to slosh through the April snow and buy some of those exciting bananas.

That's the life of
