Sarah Gilman Instagram – the little things are the big things. the older I get, the more and more I believe that. it’s not about the grand gestures, it’s about stopping to pet silly snorting dogs in the street; friends who pick you up from the airport with cookies and friends who remind you to have the courage to ask; sitting near trees and listening to wind; stopping to appreciate buildings painted colors so bright they beg to be noticed; laughing at vases with faces and the fact that somewhere someone painted something you love; ice cubes shaped like pyramids and trying to speak a language that isn’t your first, having the courage to mess up and fail and feel silly but knowing that’s how you grow. it’s the stream of little things that sustain me, not the once in a blue moon miracles. do you know or notice your favorite little things? reminder to ask yourself that. talk about it with a friend, a teacher, a mentor, a stranger. discover all the little things!
