It’s (Still) the Little Things

By: JANA GREENE

Don’t let little things get lost in the shuffle,

let the bad send you to a kerfuffle,

get bogged down in the pain and sorrow,

and preemptively let it ruin tomorrow.

Ask God to help you see joy again,

give a nod to the pain but don’t let it win,

smell the flowers and hug the trees,

for it’s the little things that set us free.

Dear Reader, yesterday was hard. I will write about it in a bit. But as I was resting this morning and going through the scazillion pictures on my phone, I came across some videos I’d taken to make a little TikTok about little things that make me happy. I had taken them before I knew I was facing cancer – but decided to make the video anyway. Because all the more reason to make it. All the more reason to take notice of good things. Not for the sake of toxic positivity, but because I’m trying not to let the negativity win. Blessed be, friends.
