Sometimes I think we worry too much. That our lives are too small and won’t amount to much. When they already have mounted up. And the weight of my life in gold would be too heavy to carry anyway. If we worry too much we will forget how glorious our little lives are. 
Ithink it is ok to have a lovely little life, with small movements and everyday things. 
Just because our lives are little does not make them any less brilliant or colourful or dramatic or worthy. 
Nobody knows me but you. I have no books in print or on coffee tables. Or art hanging in galleries, and names in lights. Though once I almost did. 
I have weeds in my dried up garden. And clothes still hanging on the line from yesterday. You might have dishes in the sink from last night and problems with leaks, but that does not make you or I any less clever. Or good. Or golden.
Sometimes we are just a little cow, with no particular place to go. 
Sometimes we confuse toothpicks with cigars.
And only have one or maybe two friends, who we forget to appreciate.
Sometimes a wee pat on the shoulder is all we will feel that day. Just a little pat.
And then the night time comes and still nothing much has happened, but we are all fed, and we are all warm and we have seen moments of true beauty in our little day, if our eyes are open. And there is more to come. 
I am so glad you are in my glorious little life with me. Because little is loaded with consequence and reward. Every chook step leads us to another one. Then another step and another. This is why you and I like to walk barefoot. Then we can feel the consequences of our steps. We can discover the sparkling jewels in our days. Wake up! No sleeping on your little feet. Our little lives need living. Our little lives are good.
Good morning. Have a lovely little day!

What a wonderful post. I too am glad that you are in MY glorious little life. And I happen to love having a little life! Big lives are way overrated. 🙂

Thank you so much Celi. A very good morning to you too xo.
This post was a great little pat. Thanks – I’ll feel it all day long.
Always good to be reminded, and therefore remember, its
all about the little things. I always loved “The Little Engine That
Could.” Have a wonderful day embracing all that makes you
smile !!!
Good Morning! Like you I have a little day, but I love each and every moment of this little day. All my ‘chores’ are acts of love and kindness toward all those things that make each day go. Like you I’m glad to have you and all my blog friends in my daily little life.

Good morning, c.
Oh and the pictures are so touching–every single one of them. Bobby Blanc, and loving hands petting the cat and the Shush sisters. Ton with stick, the rooster positively glowing. You have a rich life, Cecilia, and you are enriching so many many others’ lives as well–and I don’t mean merely your readers.
Your life seems very big and very full to me, Cecilia, and your words add the the fullness of my own life. Now excuse me while I take off my shoes and go barefoot for a while!
(loud laughter!).. c
Fabulously written post, Celi. Cute piggies, too!
I am glad you are so happy. It is a wealth few of us acquire.
There is plenty to go around Bill! Happy is the new Cool! c
