“
Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look
back and realise they were the big things,” said Robert Brault………or was it Kurt
Vonnegut? There seems to be some confusion over whom to credit these words of
wisdom to…..

But no matter who said it first (though of course it does
matter to the one who actually said it first :-)), the point is that
this wisdom rings so true. The big moments, the extraordinary experiences, the
dramatic stuff in our lives – these get all the attention, as of course they
should too, but when it comes down to it, it is the little moments, those
seemingly insignificant experiences and the little pleasures that bring so much
joy and add so much more meaning to your life.
A spinal injury in a car wreck a few years ago has meant
that I have had to make major lifestyle adjustments as I am now unable to perform
many everyday functions and activities that I never gave a second thought to
earlier. And no, I don’t sit around wallowing in misery and crying over the
things I can no longer do - that’s such a waste of time, don’t you think? But
if I do miss anything at any point it is never the big things considered ‘very
important’, rather it is the little things I would never have imagined mattered
that much at all.
