The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

It’s Still The Little Things

Beautiful flower. It's the little things.

Instead of a quote post today I thought I would share a different type of post. I published a post called “It’s The Little Things” a long time ago and I thought it really still is the little things. I wanted to share with you guys this beautiful flower I saw the other day. My sister took this lovely picture.

My week has started out weird but hopefully it will get better. I didn’t have a good nights sleep last night so I wasn’t in the best mood today but hopefully things will look up tomorrow. I’m also getting a little sick of social media so I’m trying to be less active on my pages. If I don’t respond or something please don’t take it personally.

I have been thinking about cutting my own bangs but unfortunately I have a lot of stuff coming up including a wedding in the very near future. Not mine, thankfully, lol. And in case the bangs turn out crazy I don’t want to look awful in all the pictures. So I guess one of my goals for next year will be to cut my own bangs. I will most definitely be sharing the before and after pictures.

Anyway, I wanted to share this image today because I am trying to appreciate the little things more. I want to care more about small wins than loses. For some reason the human brain likes to concentrate on the bad but I’m trying to train it to do the opposite.

What are some of your plans for this week? What have you been up to? Is there anything going on in your life? Did you like the picture? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you!

    I loved the picture Pooja and the reminder, “to stop and smell the roses,” if you will. We’re in the middle of a heat wave this week and suddenly I am most grateful for air conditioners, ice cubes, large pools of water! Hugs, C

    I love the picture, and I am glad you shared it with us. Sometimes, really, that’s all that’s needed.

    I am working on a chapbook of poems for and about my job as a central scheduling specialist for radiology and my teammates who make my days so much better.

    I will gift the chapbook to them by way of a PDF file by having the regional director for our department share it through our company email. She doesn’t know that this will be her task, but I know she’ll be up for it.

    I also plan on sharing it with the CEO of our hospital organization. Working on this project has given me the needed strength I’ve wanted in the last couple of weeks.

    Happy New Week, Pooja!

    Yes, you take good care of your mental health. I wonder why you were unable to sleep, but please be well.
    Also, before after pic would be great.
    I thought your wedding is coming up, and I thought you are saying it so casually. Haha

      Ohh about me… I am doing more marketing of my business, so I am out a lot. Which is not a good thing for an introvert like me, haha. This is why I wanted to become a blogger and earn through it, so that I have to meet people less. haha
      Also, Finally I was able to go to the gym after 1 week, today I have a call with nutritionist and will focus more on nutrition. I want to get into decent shape, before my marriage. haha

        Oh video it! I find it fascinating how people cut their own hair – my Mum used to cut all of our hair when we were younger (with mixed results 😂) and my sister had a crack at mine a few times. The good thing about hair is it grows out – unlike dolls hair as I found out when I trimmed all my sisters dolls hair and got in big trouble

    Always the little things 🌺

    The salon i go to offers free bang trims for existing clients. Maybe you can find one near you like that? Trimming your own bangs is a bold move, especially if they’re cut straight. I’ve trimmed my own hair for years but i don’t have bangs and my hair is curly so it takes a big mistake to notice. Not that I haven’t overdone it before… 😂
    Good luck!

    I’m overwhelmed with how behind I am so I am trying to get back on track this week. But I finally moved and my new roommate is fostering 5 kittens so I’ve been playing with them as an instant mood boost. The little things, especially adorable furry little kittens, really make the difference.

    As for bangs, I used to trim mine. Once you get a hang of it it’s not that bad. But while you’re getting a hang of it, know that bangs can be nicely braided away if you ever need to hide them XD

    I love flowers 🌺. It’s beautiful! About 4 months ago I deleted my social media pages. Tik tok, FB and IG. I started a brand new IG that no one knows about. And I only follow skin care, healthy foods and make up tips. That is all. It feels great to not see any posts related to people that you know, and that you don’t really talk to.

    Bangs are always tricky and they have to be cut when there are no important events in the near future.
    I try to enjoy the small things in life all the time. Things most people miss when they’re on their way to work, stuck in traffic, and when the day isn’t going so well. I just try to take 5 minutes or so just to relax.
    I started working again after 20 years and it feels pretty strange. I have to get used to it again. I can’t see my kids as much and my disability isn’t helping make my job any easier. But I’m getting a paycheck. I haven’t been posting as much because I’ve been so tired every day.

    Over the long Labor Day weekend, I had two consecutive nights (Friday night and Saturday night) where I was plagued by insomnia. I’ve slept well in the nights that followed, but it’s Wednesday evening here in the East Coast of the U.S. and I still feel tired.

    On the other hand, I passed the 1,000-post mark on my WordPress blog and the $100-threshold for payments via AdSense on my Blogger blog, so….

    Hi. How are you doing? I feel like I’m always playing catch up on reading blogs. I have to have both physical and mental energy to read, and my son has to be not nagging me. I used to get frustrated by all the blogs I have to catch up but then I told myself the purpose of reading is to enjoy it, so even if I’m 2 weeks late to reading a blog post, as long as I get to it, I’m fine. What you said is true. It really is the little things that make a difference. The smell of coffee in the morning. A soft breeze. A smile. A hug. Nature.
