The little things and instructions

First of all I have to tell you how much the little things in life mean. Have you ever had a piece of popcorn stuck in your teeth and you can't get it out? You've tried floss, toothpick, brushing excessively, stuck a small mirror in your mouth while having your head cocked in a position that should never be repeated, only to be driven nuts but not being able to get at it? Well that happened to me. Me being from a family that loves popcorn (well mostly my Mom), made caramel popcorn and wouldn't you know it, got a piece stuck in my gums!! And it happened to be one of the last bits I had - definately Murphy's Law!! After working on day and having that piece drive me nuts, I rang the dentist to see if they could fit me in. I was kind of worried that it would become a cavity and all my teeth would fall out! They said come right in. I had to wait maybe 10 minutes, they fit me in and found the piece!! And the bonus - they didn't even charge me!

Now that piece of popcorn was so small and tiny but it drove me nuts. The little things can make a huge difference! If it was a big piece well than I could have probably got it out myself! I only spent a little amount of time with the dentist, but he made a huge difference to me by getting it out!

Other little things in life that make a difference:
  • letting other cars merge in front of you!
  • finding a package or letter in your mailbox instead of junk mail
  • putting on a jacket from last season only to find $20 in the pocket(it's only happend once)
  • having my dog fall asleep on my lap
  • getting an unexpected discount at the till on an item you just love
  • falling alseep to the sound of rain
  • having people smile at you while standing in line at the grocery store
What little things make a difference to you??

And on the same line, to leave a comment is quite easy. At the end of my post there is a line that goes across the bottom. Underneath that you'll see Comments. Just click on that and you can leave a comment!! You'll have to register yourself and put in a user name and password. Once you register you can just type in your user name and password everytime. And then press log in. After you leave a comment you have to type in funny letters before you can post the comment. That's just a security thing. If you press PREVIEW you can see what you typed. If you press LOGIN AND PUBLISH it will come up on my blog. That way everyone can see the comments.

Hope that makes sense. If you need help, let me know. Have a wonderful weekend!!

It is indeed the little things - and noticing them that can make all the difference. I've been taking more pictures lately and it's helped me notice more of the little things - and how much I've been missing. I'm appreciating your writing and your blog. Keep it up. Heidi

I burst out laughing when you started talking about leaving a comment. Hilarious. All that long tale about popcorn and that list of little things to convince people to comment on your blog.

Sweet. Good on ya!

Oh, and hey Heidi. I haven't heard about you in years! How's it going. I'm gonna check out your blog. This could be a long night of tracking down old friends through mazes of blogs and comments.
