Elise reminded me tonight that it's the little things that matter the most, so I thought I'd take few minutes tonight to take stock of the little things that make me the happiest.
It's the little things that make me happy . . .
- watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset at night
- crawling into my pre-heated bed each night thanks to my heated mattress pad
- being woken at night by Betsey or Ross given me "kisses" on my eyelids
- finding a rainbow
- lunch at home in the middle of a busy work day
- a freshly washed car
- fresh white grapefruit
- freshly painted toenails
- a hug
- an ice-cold glass of water
- sitting across the dinner table from a very special friend
- a handwritten note of praise or just telling me to have a good day
- an unexpected phone call from a friend "just because"
- finding cash in my pocket, even if it's just a dollar or two
- fresh off the vine, perfectly ripe tomatoes (not the ones they sell in the store, the ones off the vine 10 minutes ago)
- tulips, stargazer lilies, and daisies
- fresh cut lavender
- a full tank of gas in my car
- sand between my toes
- a hot shower
- thunderstorms
- sitting in front of a warm fire
- the Northern Lights
- snuggling on the sofa
- a good book
- mashed potatoes with lots of butter and garlic
- sweet corn on the cob
- Michigan cherries
- a clean condo
- swimming
- the smile on someone's face when I do something or say something that makes them happy
- doing Random Acts of Kindness
There are many other "little things" that make me happy as well, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind. What makes me happiest is that I've experienced 17 of those items since Saturday, so in the last 4 days.
I hope you have an equally long list of little things that make you happy each day.
