It’s the little things…

We all experience good and not so great days. Some days are harder than others. Some days are the best days ever imaginable. Sometimes, we feel like the bad days will never then as there feels like there is always something happening, something always going wrong. We might even feel like the World is against us. These are tough times, but these are the days which make us stronger, gives us the fight to keep fighting but also the strength to carry on.

We may not realise it on these tough days as we might feel there is never alight at the end of the trouble. I have had my fair share of tough times and always thoughts I’m never going to get through this and even now when I look back, think how did I do that?! But I did, I did get through it and so will you.

It is never easy and these are the times when we need to really look after ourselves. We really need to put our own oxygen mask on first so we can make sure we are strong enough to look after others if we have too.

These are the days when it really is the little things which matter. A friendly smile from a neighbour, a friend saying hello and making you laugh, someone bringing you something to make you smile, having a hug with a loved one or even having a complete stranger do something kind. We never know when these tough days are going to happen or when someone might be struggling but being able to give a smile, share a kind word just might make all the difference to someone, even you.

These little gestures are so important and really can make a massive difference to someone’s life.
