This past Saturday, my son brought home a little puppy who is quickly wagging and nipping her way into our hearts. Last night we elected a new president. It’s bizare to think about, but I wonder which of the two events that happened this week will effect my life more? Of course I know the presidential choice is a much bigger decision than our decision to adopt a puppy. The president of the USA affects the whole world. But that’s not really the question I asked. My question is which will effect me personally more? I really don’t know. But I’m trying not to underestimate the power of the close by, everyday little things; how they effect me, and the effects I can have on others. I probably will never make even a small impact on the world… But I can make a big impact on my neighbor.

Well said. I’m learning more and more that it’s the everyday little things that matter most.
