Just Because

I am grateful for the "Just Because" moments in life.  Let me explain... I think they are the things that people do, what they say or how they show you they care about you, appreciate you, or are just thinking about you in life. Someone could send a card saying they are grateful for your friendship "just because".  A friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, etc. could send you flowers "just because" they care about you, and want to brighten up your day.  Someone could bring you a treat (my first thought was a Jamba Juice!) "just because" they were thinking of you, and thought you might like it.  Someone could write a little note telling you to have a great day "just because".  Someone could smile at you, or make way for you during traffic "just because" they were feeling friendly that day. There are so many, many ways that you could, and I could, show someone I care about them "just because".  Whether they are struggling with something in their life, or they just need a pick me up on a certain day, or whether they just need to know someone is thinking about them, those "just because" moments can be the best thing to brighten up anyone's day.  I know I have always been grateful for these little expressions that people show me, and even a smile can brighten my day, "just because".  So as you go about your days, (and I am letting this be a reminder to myself, as well) don't forgot to keep in mind those "just because" moments, take advantage of them, and let others know you care.  It might make you feel better too!
