little things often go unappreciated

Nov 15, 2023

Sometimes, it’s the crazy little things you never even think about that go unappreciated.

For example…

I washed a puppy blanket yesterday and rather than dry it in the dryer, I could simply throw it over the deck rail at my front door. I would’ve NEVER done that at the Seymour house.

Here, it’s not visible from the road unless you’re driving slow (which doesn’t happen on this dead end expressway), and also paying attention (probably doesn’t happen much on this road either). Even if it could be seen, it wouldn’t matter anyway.

Learning to appreciate the little things in life can bring about a positive shift in your perspective.

My perspective has taken a 360° turn in the past year. Part of the shift is because I’m getting close to retirement age, and another big part is my geography. This move has been really good for me. 🙂

As of midnight last night, I am partaking in practice retirement.

Yesterday was my last true “work day” this year. Matter of fact, work doesn’t go back to normal until 1/15/24. I have a whole lot of house projects planned, and since Mr. Pesky already has their Christmas decor up (not lit — but up just the same), I need to get a move on!

Now you know: Winston Churchill had a doctor’s note to drink “unlimited” alcohol during America’s prohibition in 1932.
