Little things. They’re all around. Often we ignore them. Like if you’re in the Board Room being bored. How different would the world be if instead of ignoring little things we celebrated them? I’m guessing that for a lot of people it would be a severely different world. It would be for me. I can be a very observant person. Oh, let me clarify that. I have a weird sense of observation. Where often times, I can see funny things in the world. Or rather, when I voice lots of my observations out loud the people within earshot can have a tendency to laugh.
Most of the time I don’t speak up about little things. I usually reserve those times for more one on one moments. I’m not sure where I get that warped sense of observation and humor. Sometimes it has served me well. Other times it’s gotten me into trouble. But today I’m going to see if I can Celebrate some little things…
As a change of pace, I’d like to say I’m happy it’s overcast today. In the land of sunshine known as southern California, it’s actually great to get a day off from the sun once in a while.
Naps. As a sleep deprived person, the occasional nap is a really great thing. Being that it’s a Saturday and it’s overcast out. I’m likely to take a nap today. Woo Hoo!
Winning a poker game. Ok, maybe that’s not quite so little but I won a poker game last night. That right there is a cause to celebrate when you climb the heap of players to win.
A warm shower. I like showers that feel good. Today a warm one will do fine. If it’s cold outside I’d probably go with a hot shower and if it were hot out, I’d likely go with a cool shower. It’s nice to know that I have a choice in the matter most of the time.
Gas prices. What?!? Did I just say gas prices? Yup. It causes me to think more about where I go and do. I’ve stopped just cruising around town pointlessly. When I leave the house there’s now a point. Otherwise, I’m doing more writing and working. The prices also have me gung ho on getting a Tesla (when I can afford it).
Music. Oh there’s nothing finer than that right? Especially when you can love something as short as one song.
The Internet. How could I possibly forget this one? It’s not little, it’s vast. However I do have my own little corner in that universe. I like that part. Plus I can find great things like Sweetheart. Not only that, you’re reading this and that’s cause to Celebrate too.
Paris Hilton going back to jail. Actually I don’t know if that’s cause for Celebration. Though I do think it’s a score for the judicial system that decided to take a stand and enforce a punishment that was handed down.
Flying. Whether it’s only for a small leap or in a plane. Leaving the earth and coming back to it safely is a fantastic thing.
I would have thought that today’s band would have come from London specifically, or the UK generally. I was wrong. Sweetheart comes out of the country north of America. For those who aren’t smarter than a 5th grader, that’s Canada. Not exactly the first place I think of for Brit Pop. Usually I think of straight up Rock when it comes to Canada. The cool thing about Sweetheart is that they sound familiar, yet I can’t think of a specific band that I’d relate as a carbon copy. That’s something to Celebrate.
So take a moment to examine your surroundings. Find something to appreciate about them. Then take some more time to explore more posts on Single of the Day. You might find a lot of music to Celebrate. Until then, get this song so you can remember to Celebrate each day. G’head, click that link at the top to buy. I dare ya.
