I weed through small objects such as corks, rubber bands, twisty ties, change....birthday candles...straws....chopsticks....
and in my head....as I toss things....I think...
in some kind of apocalyptic world, I might really need these things....maybe I could trade them for something...or maybe I could MacGyver them together to make a fishing pole...that would be useful....if the water is clean and there are plenty of fish...or maybe...just....you don't know how you might be able to use a cork...
because small things....can be great things.....and small steps....lead to great things....
I think it's because I really value being prepared for something unexpected. I remember as a new mommy...with a little baby, the ability to be prepared for the unexpected made a huge difference between....smooth sailing, crisis averted....and the complete opposite shit show.
having enough wipes on hand for a blow out...thinking ahead for possible breast feeding locations...being warm enough in the winter...having enough snacks on hand....
you kind of know...after not having these things....what is going to happen... and after once or twice....
you start some serious process improvement in the preparedness area....
small acts of great power...
something so small you do today....is leading the way for something great....
don't waste that chance to gather up these small things....
amazing things.....happen through the smallest of steps......adding up....building....
peace....
and love....
and making all the small things count....never underestimate the importance of that seemingly small thing placed in your path....gather it up.....it will be important later.
