The Little Things!

I had someone comment that my blog is boring. So be it, it's boring. I could sit and talk about corporate taxes for a small S-Corp company but what fun would that be? Besides, I would not post information about my company online. I would be a fool! Not only that what would be the point of posting about my full time job at a mortgage company as well? I would sound as though I was whining. Usually when I complain about my job that's all it is is whining.

I would prefer to laugh at the little things. Let me share one of these moments of the "Little Things". Mr. Frogman for those that don't remember or don't know is Autistic. For Mr. FM to show emotion is very rare. About 2 years ago we were visiting our friends Intimidator and his son Intimidator Jr. As we were leaving for the evening I looked at Mr. Frogman and said, "You need to say good bye." All of a sudden Mr. Frogman turned around and hugged Intimidator. I took a shocking step backwards. Intimidator and my eyes met, he saw the look of shock and realized what had just happened. Mr. Frogman had made a huge step in showing feelings and emotions. Without coercion he showed affection for someone other than a parent. Intimidator felt very priveledged that Mr. FM would show the affection to him. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes and see his mist over as well. He shook his head no to indicate to me not to cry, I was so happy.

This may not seem like much to anyone but for us it was a huge break through. He was opening up to other people. These little things are what we look for on a daily basis.

The happenings of my business, getting my book published, or even my job are nothing in comparison to my son being able to live his life day to day and focus on what is important, family, friends, sense of humor and the basics. We take our days one step at a time and one day at a time.
