I think it's really important to enjoy the "little things" and take "simple pleasures" but at the same time I hope and want to focus on the big picture and not get caught up in the "small stuff". Like not stressing about an occasional treat when I overall eat quite healthy or not feeling bad about a lazy day when I'm usually active. It's figuring out what's worth the effort and what is not.
This thought was prompted by my reflections/ruminations on the actions of a friend, my former roommate. I recently moved out of my shared house to a place on my own. The last couple of weeks - she's been rather petty. Asking about a missing piece of tupperware or emailing me to say she found a broken cup (not replacing it but like she wants me to deal with it). Mind you we still have some big bills to work out but she seems more focused (fixated) on the little things rather than hundreds of dollars.
I'm going to let a day pass before I respond because my immediate response was to be pissed off and I starting thinking about a rant I wanted to lay on her. This of course is not positive and totally counter to what I described I'm seeking above.
Anyway - that's me - rambling instead here but not taking it further.
