In Others’ Words: Pick Your Size

 

Perspective is a valuable commodity.

The challenge is, perspective is earned — through trial and error. Over time. You experience enough life, you gain clearer perspective.

When you’re younger, life can be all about the big happiness:

a birthday

Christmas

turning 13 … or 16 … or 18 … or 21

buying your first car

sharing your first kiss

graduating from high school … graduating from college

getting married

landing a book contract

Big happinesses, one and all.

But what comes between?

The small joys. Yes, the small joys:

shared laughter

sunrises … sunsets

game nights

family meals

silence that understands

first steps

a peaceful night’s sleep

I’ll be looking for the small joys this week. Join me?
