I have a black leather belt that I have owned for years. Why haven’t I gotten rid of it? Because I’m too lazy to buy a new one and it still works the way a belt should so I have not felt so inclined.

As I was putting it on this morning, my finger ran across a small slit just a few inches past the last belt hole. I immediately recognized it as a special cut I had to make when one of my closest friends, who was much thinner than I, borrowed it and we had to create a new belt hole just to make it fit.

Now, that memory is years old and it has been ages since I have seen this friend, but my mind was instantly transported back to all the great adventures we had together. Such a little thing with such a big meaning.

I find it’s in those little things that much of who we are, who we’ve known, and what we’ve accomplished lies. Yes, there are some great success stories, each one bigger than the next. But, it’s in the little things that we truly find life.

So, if you find yourself having one of “those days”…take time to look to the little things. You might be surprised what a big part of your life they truly are.
