The Little Things!

Over the past few years I have Realized that its the little things in life that we take for granted.
In March of 2008 I deployed to Afghanistan, here I began to realize that little things like indoor plumbing is often taken for granted. During my deployment I began to miss things like being able to use a toilet with running water without having to walk a half a mile, being able to take a shower without having to walk a half a mile, and even being able to take a shower without feeling dirty as soon as you step out from all of the dust blowing around you!

Family, Family is one of the biggest things we take for granted. Being able to hug the ones you love, being able to see their faces and watch them grow. The little things that in every day life you just don't realize you would miss them if they weren't there.

And last but not least, The love of a woman. I think Travis Tritt said it best when he said: "Where would we be without the love of a woman Standing behind her man even when he's wrong The true pure undying love of a woman Makes a man a fool to think he can make it alone"
I had never felt the true pure undying love of a woman until last summer when I met the love of my life. She doesn't know it but I knew i loved her from the moment we made contact again. Thank you Facebook. And I never knew what I was missing. They say it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all, how true is that. I can’t imagine my life without her now. I have made it a goal in my life to be thankful for what I have and never take the small things for granted.
