Little Things, Day 187

Every day, I share one or more Little Things that brought my joy as an Instagram story on my personal account. On Day 187 of doing this, the little thing of that day turned out to be the following text:

Nothing bad happened today,
Neither did anything particularly good.
Nothing went wrong,
Neither did anything go better than I expected it would.
Nothing was special,
Or caught my attention.
So as the day neared its end,
I wondered: “What should I mention?”

Then I realized:
I went for a walk and while nothing about it stood out,
Isn’t it wonderful that I was able to leave the house exactly when I wanted to,
Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Isn’t it nice that some days are pretty uneventful,
Without any highs or lows,
Just blissfully unsuspenseful?

This is what I wonder,
while I’m preparing a late-night snack.
And suddenly I think:
“I need to write this down, Inspiration is back!”

So it turns out that in the end,
the calm of an uneventful day,
has made space for Inspiration to visit,
has given me something to say.

Now, without further ado, the Little Thing of today,
is thinking nothing lovely happened,
then realizing something lovely was still on the way.
