simple things

It is completely true when people say that it is the little things in life that mean the most. A simple smile can brighten your whole day. A simple hug can go a long way to make you feel whole again. A simple five minute break can pull you back together so that you are no longer a mess and can cope. A simple chocolate chip can take care of your chocolate craving so you don't have to eat a whole piece of double chocolate fattening cake. You see, little things go a long way to make people happy. The biggest little thing that has happened to me occurred yesterday while I was at work. I have been trying to lose weight basically since this semester began. I haven't seem many results. My diet is totally different and I am eating way better. I even joined the YMCA and am paying about thirty dollars a month for that. I go as much as possible. I also got a personal trainer. His name is Ernie Moore and I payed close to a hundred dollars for him. I go to him for an hour three days a week for six weeks. Well, I wasn't feeling like I was losing weight and I wasn't getting any feedback. It was starting to bother me. Well, yesterday at work Heather, a girl I normally don't talk to much, approached me. She said, "Wow! You look awesome! What have you been doing to lose weight!" Just that one comment made me turn my whole outlook around. I now feel that this work has payed off and I felt good about myself. That little comment makes me want to pursue what I have been doing and to work harder. That little comment got me back on track and seriously made my day. I still smile when I think about what she said. She won't know how much those few words meant to me and made an impact on me. Little things can do a lot.
