“I told her that sometimes thinking about small things keeps your mind off big ones." – “If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska" by Heather Lende –

Heather Lende is an obituary writer in a small town in Alaska. She has learned a lot of life lessons from this experience and shares them in her book.

This short quote stuck out to me as one of those lessons. Life is a balancing acting between future and vision oriented thinking and planning and day to day management.

Sometimes thinking about the small things in life keep us from worrying about the big ones.

Sometimes enjoying today is all you really need to focus on.

Today, focus on enjoying the small things.

Enjoy that hug or kiss from your spouse on the way out the door.

Enjoy that cup of coffee.

Enjoy all the great little things throughout your day.

Make it a great day.
