i come from a fairly large family. most of my siblings are younger than me. this allows me to really notice when they're growing up.
for example:
littlest brother was hanging out at the house with the girlfriend, watching a movie. every now and again, he'd take a break to mess with me while i was standing in the room adjacent to their movie. at one point, they'd made popcorn and at another point, he'd thrown a couple napkins at me, where they ended up on the floor.
a little while later, he brought the dirty popcorn bowl into the kitchen. he made sure to put the kernels in the trash. on his way to the garbage can, he paused to pick up the napkins and throw them away.
all of these he did without being prompted, nagged, asked - nothing. he just did it on his own.
there are little things that happen that we should appreciate. so much negativity and horrible stuff happens every day, so taking the time to notice the usually-unnoticed things will help bring in positivity. it makes it even better when you actually go tell the person.
get up and go.
to end these late night thoughts, i bid you adieu.
