Little Things....

People tend to overlook the simple in life...the sun on your face, the flower amongst weeds or the giggles from children coming from pure delight.  We get so caught up in daily routine, what we need, what we want and how are we getting it, we forget us as a whole.  I say we, because we as humans are connected to each other regardless of who you are or where you're from.  You can hate for simple reasons as much as you'd like, in essence you're only hating a piece of yourself.  So as a whole, how can we take care of ourselves as well as each other in the process?  Well, it's the little things...look around and pay attention to what you can do as an individual to make small changes.  I work at a bar that doesn't really recycle, we toss bottles, cups etc. in the trash because it's the quickest way of getting work done.  I recycle at home and tend to leave the bags outside for anyone that wants them but never parlayed that into a little extra work at work.  So this month, I decided to start my own bags of recycled bottles etc. at work and was delighted that some of the girls joined in on the process.  I now take a few bags out of the bar and proceed to give them away to someone in need.  It's not much granted, but it's something small I can do in the now and I urge everyone to try it...you may very well fall in love with doing it
