It took me forever to figure out that people almost never remember the biggest things in their lives. I know I don't.
The big deals never seem to impact us proportionally. I guess it's because we're rarely able to connect emotionally to large events in our lives. I can't attach emotionally to hearing about cancer research, but I can when I hear my father has prostate cancer.
Maybe that's why I tend to write about the small things in life; the specifics. They symbolize bigger, more intangible emotions that are too vague to describe in a paragraph.
My hope is that next time you do the mundane, you take time look at the small things as significant.
