Treasure The Little Things

<p>The most commonly used phrase, yet the most commonly ignored by actions. Everyone always says to treasure what little things you have and not ask for more, but when you actually try to treasure those little things, you realize how easily simple and trivial things are forgotten and taken for granted in our everyday lives. Things like mom making my lunch every morning or waking me up or making me oatmeal as a quick breakfast. I don't treasure these things at all. Infact, I expect them to be done every morning. It's like a routine. It happens daily and because it's always occurring, we forget what value it actually holds. Humans all act in the same nature. Perhaps that is why we can all relate to one another. My mom has started to take on night shifts for work and I have to make dinner every now and then. I alternate with my dad. The food we make is far from the exquisite rich tasting food my mom always places on the table. However, it is still food. Sometimes, when I have loads of homework and it's my night to cook, I start getting really stressed. My sisters cant cook and my dad won't be gome til 7 so the responsibility to make food and place it on the tabole weighs over my head. It is solely because of that in which I have started to treasure every moment I get to eat my mom's amazing cooking and just worry about my own thing. To be honest, having to live alone seems like such a scary thing to me now, considering how dependent I am of my parents. If not for them, I wouldn't have been able to learn about these little life lessons. They don't teach it to me directly, but in a way of dropping little pieces of knowledge and lessons for me to pick up and piece them together like a puzzle. I'm glad i'm from such a great family. I may not be able to get everything I want, but I sure get everything I need. I'm thankful for being able to be here today. Mom, dad, I want to thank you the most for always being there spiritually when I need you and thank you for always being there physically everyday by my side, taking care of me.

The trivial things we take for granted,
Is of less importance to us because we have everything we've wanted.
Nonetheless, whilst one treasures the trivial little things,
They'll find their life blossoming,
In a whole new different blessing.
