I took advantage of my light work schedule and spent the weekend home, hanging with my father. You forget how much you enjoy the little things; haning out at McDonald's talking about everything and nothing, or watching a movie with your family and destroying six courts of popcorn in ten minutes flat. You forget how much you enjoy the little things until they're no longer a part of what you do.
That being said, you can create your new little things to do where ever you are. Today my roommate Stephen and I had quite the day! Grabbed lunch, witnessed and helped in a vehicular accident (awesome picture below), watched a quality Vikings game, and proceeded to watch not one but four movies in our dorm room before mozying up the ladders to bed.
Do I miss being home? Absolutely. Although being woken up to help mow the lawn or change the oil doesn't sound relaxing, it's comforting. Something that I will cherish about my family, how we made our own little things to celebrate. That being said, I love being at school. Hanging with my roommate, eating late night Shells and Cheese and watching movies until you cannot follow plot lines any longer, enjoying every bit of it.
My advice for you? Enjoy the little things. And if you don't have any little things to enjoy, make them. The only excuse you have for not enjoying the moment, is you.
Rule Number 32: Enjoy The Little Things.God Bless you, and teach you new things in every situation.
