Find Joy in Little Things

I realized something some people do and some people don't.  Find Joy in the little things! I try to do this and it makes me feel kinda dorky,  but it makes me happy! I feel sad or down,  I think of the little things.  It reminds me of a story I heard and probably most of you have Heard it.  The story of the forget me not flowers. 
When God named all the flowersHe gave them beautiful namessetting them in beautiful places where they could growThere was one little flower still there when God was finishing up
"Please God! Forget Me Not! " the little flower cried
God looked at the little flower and smiled,  "and so your name shall be."
And to this daythese little flowers are found in beautiful places and named "Forget Me Not".
God doesn't forget to give us little things as well as big things.
Some of the little things im grateful for:
*Love (this can be big or small)
*Ogden cemetery and a little plot with a small grave holding a man who changed my life and the lives of my family.  (My great great grandfather)
*music notes (I've seen them pretty much every day for 11 years)
*Singing (or speaking,  even in sign language) the way we can communicate and understand each other is amazing! 
*understanding (it helps so many people)
*trials (yes...I'll admit I have a hard time with this one sometimes.  But trials, afflictions, and problems have helped me understand people and help them through their problems, trials and afflictions. They're not easy for me, and rarely are for others, so there is room to help out :) )
If I don't post tomorrow,  Happy Thanksgiving! I challenge you to write in a journal,  draw,  text to someone,  or some saved form at least twenty unique things you're grateful for! :)
