It’s The Little Things

Sometimes I get so amused by the most stupid things in life. The meerkats on the TV adverts, cat videos on YouTube and bad jokes. This is something most kids have, but lose as they get older. As if maturity supposedly means that our sense of humour has to change. You can be an adult and still find fart jokes funny.

I think that being too serious can make life boring. Sometimes you need to laugh at nothing, just because you feel like it. To restrict yourself from that because you feel like you are not supposed to, seems a bit off to me. A laugh makes you feel better. A laugh can be contagious. A laugh makes you happy. A laugh can then make others feel happier. It can turn a bad day into a good day. It is certainly something that is under-estimated. Life is hard enough without people refusing to enjoy it.

The picture above is two snails I found on my window. It is the season that snails are everywhere, and they do seem to like climbing up windows. This is something that made me giggle because it looks like they are flying. It’s little stuff like that, which makes me happy. So I try to find little funny things every day to make life a wee bit more bearable. If you have had a bad day, a wee giggle about something daft really does make it all seem a bit better.

I am one for complaining about where I live. How the same things happen every day, and it gets so tiresome.

But sometimes, you take a step back and take things in for what it is. And you realise that amongst the numbness of daily life, there is a silver lining. Appreciate the time and effort that has gone to build the town or city you live in.

Sometimes, you need to look beyond the Buckfast bottles, and appreciate life. Hard work has gone in to create every little thing around you. From the pavements you walk on, to the newspapers in the shops. Everything has been made by others. And then the grass and weeds that line the pavement, that grow over time, powered by nothing more than nature.

The world is a pretty magical and beautiful place. Just take the time to look around a little. 🙂
