The Little Things

I've spoken many times about the stress of living with a TBI, and how I often find relief through my love of dancing and nature. But there isn't always time for all that. Some days, I just don't feel well enough to go on a hike or dance around my kitchen. My head aches and I can be overcome with exhaustion.

So instead, I try to find to peace and enjoyment in the little things- like the flowers in my garden, pictured above. Or my favorite pair of black cowboy boots from Texas, which are completely unique and intricate and unlike any boots I've found anywhere else. I feel happy and confident whenever I wear them!

It's so important to have little things in life that can make you smile and forget everything else. What are yours?
