Little bit of something good

Dear Peanut,
I have something I feel is very important to share with you, and it's something I want you to do your best to always remember...
There truly is more good than bad in this world.
Sometimes I forget that. Actually quite often I forget that. It is so easy to be consumed by the daily grind, and it seems the media takes such pleasure from scaring the pants off us, that we often forget to recognize the good. And it's silly because there is so much good, and it surrounds us. Often we don't notice it because it's the little acts. It's someone letting you in front of them in line because you only have one item, or a neighbor smiling and saying hello, or a stranger holding a door for you. But each one of those little actions, and all the others like them, are our constant reminder that this is a good world we live in.
Yes sometimes bad things happen, sometimes really really bad things happen, but if you only focus on the bad, you'll miss out on the true beauty of the world.
I got to thinking about all this, because you are my little bit of something good, and today when the stress and responsibilities of life started to wear me down, you did something to remind me. You moved :) Just a tiny bit, a little flutter. It was subtle, yet the perfect reminder. A private moment of you saying, it's ok mama, it's all ok, and I thank you for that.
