Sometimes It's Just The Small Things

By: Gary R. Oman, CPA, PFS, MST

You know, over the years I recall so many times Dianne and I would talk about our next vacation or some get–together with family and friends. Plans would be made and you’d begin to look forward to a Caribbean vacation, well, OK, an Aruba vacation where we have been able to visit many times. It was fun planning whether it was vacation or for a party and it was fun to look forward to these things.

Covid-19 took many of these fun things away, at least for a while longer, but that shouldn’t stop us from being able to enjoy looking forward to something. These somethings are now likely to be much more simple and more local.

A walk around the neighborhood, a chat on the sidewalk with a neighbor, coffee or a cold beverage on the back porch with friends, or even a car ride to the post office or to the grocery store is often enough to put a smile on your face…or at least get you out of the house for a little while!

These activities don’t require a lot of planning but they can be just the right prescription to pick up your day and someone else’s too.

So don’t overlook the ordinary, it may just become the extraordinary!

Until next time…
