Feeling small in a big way

Feeling small--that is usually not a good thing. I needed to feel small today. I had a problem today. The problem is not the issue here. I had a problem and I needed to find a solution. When you have a problem sometimes it is hard to "see the forest from the trees", well a good friend told me to go to a park. At the time I thought it sounded a bit uninspired, as advice goes. But, having one hour to "kill" I just got in my car and pulled over at the first park I found. This was more of a walking trail with a playground at the end. But, it was the first thing I saw. Well, not knowing what else to do I parked my car, took my cell phone and keys and started to walk. Wow! There were some really big trees on this walking trail. I felt very small and suddenly, my problem seemed smaller too. I came up with a solution and got a good little walk in as well.

It was good to feel small--it made my problem more manageable some how. I think the air in my lungs helped me clear my head too--sometimes that is all a problem needs--a little time, some fresh air, and clear thoughts.

Go take a walk among some really big trees and see how it makes you feel.
Take care,
MissT
