Indulge me for a moment please.
The little things are like finding a 5er in a pair of shorts you wore last summer that are just a little too tight cause you’ve been remote working and packed on a couple of lbs!! – who cares!! go the the discount store – buy new shorts – you’ll get back to pre-covid weight as some point.
The little things are a professional hair cut – still not an option in Ontario and because I wear my hair short I am sporting more of a mop right now and have been warned by my stylest – back away from the scissors AND clippers – Damn you!
The little things are finding flour in your local grocery because everyone and your Auntie Enda has decided that there will be a HUGE bread shortage so we all gotta make bread now – hit me up if you need yeast – I have lots wink.
The little things are being able to work from home- yep – home – where the wine is and no bras or socks or clothes if that is what blows your hair back – but remember – the webcam adds like 10 lbs.
The little things are smiles and waves and pleases and thank yous to the service staff who are risking their lives.
The little things are grocery delivery services that can allow me to make sure my socially anxiety ridden son who cannot go out BUT can be fed and cared for with fresh food and porch visits and multiple texts.
The little things are the incoherent babbling language of my grand daughter who greets me when it’s day care time with tales of her sleep and her favourite show and her Elly and pure joy.
The little things should be big things to us because let’s be real – so you don’t fit into your shorts from last summer and your hair looks like Sideshow Bob and you can only get wheat bread at the store.
All these little things that we take for granted are HUGE things to others and we should feel so abso-friggin-lutely lucky that we are actually able to enjoy these many many amazing little things that we take for granted every day!
Rant over- can we go out and play now?!
