This week felt like a long week. There\’s a lot of things I could complain about or dwell on, but instead, my mind keeps going back to one little thing. It was small and probably seems silly to many, but it was probably the highlight of my entire week.
After work on Monday, I started working out on our elliptical, and was watching TV on my phone. A commercial came on involving movie theater popcorn and I was instantly craving movie theater popcorn. I texted Dan and told him we should get some for dessert lol. He texted me back and said, \”Why didn\’t you say something over lunch? I could have grabbed the popcorn bucket while I was home and picked some up after work.\”
Well, I would have had I been craving it then! 🙂
So, after supper, he ventured to the movie theater with me as we walked in, purchased our popcorn and left. I was giggling the entire time because for some reason I found it SO funny that we were there to buy popcorn, but not go to a movie. Dan probably – definitely – thought I was a little crazy that night. But life would be boring if you didn\’t have a little bit of crazy in ya, right?
Once we were back home with our movie theater popcorn, we got snuggled up on the couch with Dobby and watched Shrek and it was the best night ever. It was simple, and it was a little silly, but even several days later, thinking about it makes me smile.
Life really is about little moments like this. Like I said earlier, there were plenty of other things that happened this week that I could cry and whine about, but instead, I\’m choosing to focus on this one thing that made me really happy. I\’ve said it a million times and I\’ll say it a million more – eventually it\’ll sink in! – life is too darn short to dwell over things you have no control over. Choose to focus on the things you can control, and the things that bring you joy. Life is just a little bit easier that way!
Until next time! 🙂
