It's the little things

Recently I've been realising how many people do something to help me or love me or encourage me in any given day... I often won't remember about it even ten minutes later, but in the moment it makes a huge difference.

So as a way to make me think about it and to honour some of these wonderful people... Here's just a few things in the last couple of days that people have done which have made a difference to me.

• Jane came and got a rice ball with me for lunch so we could hang out together at lunch
• Abby put a photo of me and her on her phone screen saver
• Emma offered to run to my house at 11 30 at night because I was upset
• Becs sent me an encouraging text really late at night that I got to wake up to in the morning
• Lauren went running with me and didn't even complain when I wanted to walk (even though she's way fitter than me)
• The guy in the elevator struck up conversation with me rather than just awkwardly standing there for 9 floors
• The girl who used the rowing machine before me left the cleaner wipe thing beside my machine so I wouldn't have to go and get it when I was done
• Sophie suggested having a picnic together on Sunday
• Becca came exploring with me and we found an awesome secret look out
• Emma stayed and helped me with my exit test even though she had already finished hers and had to go home and cook dinner
• Someone transferred my laundry from the washing machine to the dryer
• The woman taking my biblical studies tutorial made jokes about the disciples and wasn't overly serious like theology professors tend to get sometimes
• The lady serving dinner at the hall gave me extra cashew nuts
• The woman at the library information desk told me where the button on the second floor was hidden to make the automatic blinds go down because the sun was coming in and I couldn't see my screen
• Shannon saw me in the library and told me there was a group of my friends upstairs if I wanted to go and join them.
• Mackenzie knew I was trying to sleep so she told the guys to 'shut up because some people actually like the morning'
• Garret text me to ask if I was going to the same lecture as him
• Emily gave me a ride out to camp late because I had to do an exam at night
• Chloe and Mackenzie brought my bio chem lab book down to uni for me because I had forgotten it in the morning
• The woman doing my blood test didn't treat me like I was 5 years old

  

  And the big things too.

I could write a million more things....
Be encouraged though, the little things you do for people do make a difference!
