In the
hustle and bustle of today’s society it seems that for the most part people get
caught up in the big picture things: the next job promotion, buying a new car,
buying a new house, progression of family, and so on. I think it is wonderful
that we live in such a goal driven society, but the down side to big picture
thinking is that you inevitable lose sight of the small happy moments of the
day.
I am a
strong believer in you attract back what kind of energy you project; it you have
a positive disposition and train of thought positive things seem to come your
way, if you have a negative disposition and thought process negative things
seem to come your way.
Even on
my worst day I have always been able to find a bright spot in the day, even if
it is just something as small as a really nice or funny text that brought a
smile to my face, Sometimes when I am not having a not so great day I mental
list all the positive things and sometimes on a really good I make a mental
list of all the good things that happened that day just for the fun of it and
because it makes me feel extra grateful.
Today I
thought I would share with you a few of my favorite things/moments, and I would
love to hear some of yours.
The sight of fresh cut flowers
The smell of freshly cut grass
The rustle of fall leaves
When you finally have an excuse
to get dressed up and wear your most favorite dress
Fresh baked cookies
A fun/super nice phone/text/in
person conversation
The first sip of a freshly
opened glass coke bottle
A Pinterest project that
actually turns out like it’s supposed to
Feeling the sun on your back and
the wind softly blowing through your hair
Taking a long hot shower at the
end of the day
When you’re trying to find
something to watch on TV and you stumble onto your favorite movie
The smell of a bookstore
A cat eye eyeliner attempt that
turns out perfectly
Bringing a smile to someone’s
else face
Hearing a sense of happiness and
laughter in someone’s voice
The sound of the ocean
The sun glistening off the water
Your favorite home cooked meal,
cooked by your mother, of course
Black and white movies
Christmas music
The sound of rain on the roof at
night
The merriment heard at parties
Finding the perfect shade of red
lipstick
Listening to Frank Sinatra, Dean
Martin, and Etta James
A long ago smell that brings
back memories
Finally eating that
sushi/pizza/taco/pasta/sandwich that you’ve had taste for all day long
Climbing into a warm, cozy bed
at night and burying yourself under a pile of blankets and duvets
Thanks a lot for remembering the importance of the small little things!
