This week felt better — not because the news was particularly great, but because I finally did something.
What I did isn’t important. In fact, I can guarantee the little thing I did won’t be changing the world anytime soon. In the grand scheme of things, my little thing is nothing. But still, it’s something. And it moved me from feeling helpless to … well, maybe a little bit hopeful. From despair to … dare I say, the tiniest bit of optimism?
(In full transparency, it was this clip from the movie A Bug’s Life that did it.)
So I’ll do another little thing soon—and maybe another little thing after that. I might even go crazy and do a fourth little thing! You don’t know!
So here’s to doing little things, friends. Go do something little today, too.
And here’s what my journal looked like this week, for a little little-thing inspiration.
