It's the LITTLE Things That Matter

Life is not for the faint of heart, is one of the mantras I live by. For those of us who choose to stick it out and truly live and not just exist, we come to realize that its not the real BIG things in life that are sooooo meaningful, but the accumulation of ALL the small and simple things.

The irony of this truth is the reason for this blog. Don't give up on life, but embrace it, the good with the bad. Take some time to discover or notice the small things in life that make it sooooo beautiful!!!
