Little Things

Today, sunlight was streaming through the blinds when I woke up.
(I immediately checked my phone to see what the temperature was outside, but no dice.  Still 34.  Brrr!)
Today, I finished reading a book while laying in bed, imaging myself in the author's shoes in Italy.
(Literally, because she supposedly has great taste in shoes.)
Today, I picked up a friend and we went shopping.
(Well, browsing really.  Neither of us bought anything, and Lisa actually returned something and I picked up tips from my old store so I guess we both made money?)
Today, it rained like we were in Portland.
(I left my coat with a hood in the car.  Good thing I was the new kid and didn't have to do a garbage run.)
Today, I spent eight hours trying to impress my new boss.
(I'm betting the three hours I spent reading and watching training videos were the most impressive.)
Today, I met a bunch of new people and realized I have a bunch of new stories to learn.
(I also realized what a crazy small world it is.  And how badly I want to ride a motorcycle someday!)
Today, I remembered that being new is hard, but thankfully I didn't cry about it.
(Yet.)
Today was made up of millions of little moments.  When I sat down at home after getting home from work tonight, the enormity of all those little moments almost overwhelmed me.  There's too much to think about.  I can't process them all, or respond to them all, or learn from them all.  There's simply too much.  But that's ok for now.  For now I will appreciate all the little things, even if I don't understand them.  Today was comprised of little things.  Tomorrow will be as well.  And the day after that.  In fact, all of life is comprised of little things, and the sooner I realize that, the sooner I can stop developing a framework and instead focus in on the things that matter, which are, apparently, the little ones.
