2) It’s the Little Things!
By Charlene M Brown
I live on the East Coast of the United States and as I write this, our third major snow storm (aka, the Blizzard of 2010!) is pouring down yet another two feet of snow.
The first storm, I was jovial and playing in the snow—even making snow angels!
The second storm a few days ago had me a little weary and ready for Spring.
So now, a few days later in the middle of the third storm, I have been griping and groaning about it for the past two days!
Until this afternoon. This afternoon, I got an email from one of the young ladies I used to work with. I want to share that note with you (as is):
Dear Charli,
Today i have realized you were a big part of my life you helped me
understand who I am today and I thank you. Thanks to you i have made
honor roll and i have all straight A’s. Everybody is proud of me
exspecially my dad. you have helped through the toughest part of my
life and i really appreciate that. i know i put you through hell and
i always gave you attitude and cursed you out a couple of time and im
really sorry for that. i just never realized i had a good person with
me by my side through whatever life may throw at me and then once you
left i realized you were there you had my hand my thoughts everything
about me you knew and i really apreciate it .
I love you so much
a
Wow!
I was so touched by this note, that suddenly all my complaints about the snow were so insignificant! Snow is just snow—it will melt. But the impact we make on one another—can be life changing!
This particular young lady I worked with at a local community center. She is spicy, to say the least. Part of my job was to periodically get cursed out by an irate teenager, and sometimes even an irate parent or two. I understood it wasn’t personal, but to receive a note like this makes it all worth it.
What she doesn’t know (or heck maybe she does) is that I am profoundly changed for having met her too! Every person, including the teenagers and kids I have worked with, they have all had an effect on me too!
We all need little reminders sometimes that what we do really does matter. I have a friend who tells me that, he says, “You Matter, Charli.”
So I am passing that message along to you too: You MATTER! And so do your actions, no matter how insignificant you think they are!
And also remember that the next generation is watching you closely, even when they seem like they aren’t paying attention (especially when it seems like they aren’t paying attention!).
So act like everything you do matters. (Stage whispering: because it does)!
I Always Have HUGS To Give!

When I was 14, I was fiercely independent! This hasn’t changed a whole lot since then, but I have calmed down a great deal—now I am calm and fiercely independent, instead of the angry little girl that I once was. (That’s relative too!)
Recently, I took my mother to the zoo. She brought snacks, just as if we were little kids on a class trip to the zoo! My sister-in-law was there too and we both got a kick out of my mom’s snacks!
Let me backtrack a moment: When I was in high school, my mom was the “team mom” and after every game she had treats for us, no matter if we won or lost! And if she couldn’t make the game, she would send the bag with me so my team would know she was there in spirit!
I used to hate when my mother did this.
Now I realize that small things like that bring my mother a great amount of joy.
It delights my mother if she can bring me an unexpected Reese’s Cup because she knows it’s my favorite.
My mom takes great delight in simply mothering—it’s just what she does!
So instead of always getting annoyed that my mother smothered me, I have learned to be grateful for a few things from the experience: 1 that I have a mother; 2 that I have a mother who cares; and 3, most importantly, that in appreciating such a small gesture from my mother and saying thank you for it, I can bring my mom lots of delight.
People are giving by nature. Mothers tend to be really good at this. Part of their joy comes from giving, especially to their children (no matter how old—and wait ‘til the grandbabies start coming!). I was being selfish and narrow-minded by not appreciating this gesture. So now I try to appreciate it and others like it.
People take delight in giving. Let’s honor them by receiving with an open heart and spirit.
So thank you Mom, for bringing us snacks on our recent adventure to the zoo! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!
Do You Love Your Mom Now!? Yeeeaaaahhhh!
