The Little Things

This morning, B and I actually left the house at the same time (him a few minutes early for the T, me a few minutes late for my workout). There is one apartment at the end of our block that has windows directly adjacent to the sidewalk. B likes to look at the huge cat they own, who enjoys sitting in the morning sun. Sadly, due to winter sun rays (or lack thereof), B has not seen the cat, aptly named 'Window-cat' in quite some time. And understandably so. I wouldn't sleep in a drafty windowsill unless the draft was countered with sunshine either!

This morning, though, Window-cat was right in the window where it (he? she? no idea) belongs. B was thrilled, and then a little embarrassed at his excitement. But I told him - its the little things that make our day worthwhile.

What are the little things? They are those small, mundane things that make you smile during the work week. Not even so special as someone bringing cookies. Tiny things, insignificant to most. What are some of mine? Well, I'm glad you asked:
- Purple pens
- Fun little note pads and/or bright neon post-its (for phone message taking)
- Window-cat
- Sunshine
- The March baby flower buds
- The man who sweeps outside the apartments across from the Christian Science Center - he is always so happy!

What are YOUR little things, friends?
