Now, more than ever, I feel like it is important to absorb all the positive things that are going on in life, no matter how big or small. It seems that the small things that bring joy in life or usually overlooked, especially on days that seem to have more downs than ups.
I know most people feel like February is their hump month they need to make it through, but for me, it always seems to be March. I honestly don’t get why people get so frustrated with the month of February…it’s the shortest month of the year, the weather is predictable, there’s always the hope for one last snow, and pink and red are basically the officially color of February. Then this March… it might be 70s one day and 40s the next, you never quite know how to dress, there is always a chance of rain, and it is like this weird limbo month between winter and spring.
Maybe I am a standing alone in my stance on March, but it really does give you an extra lift in spirit when you take not of the positive things, and usually when you start to notice one positive others always seem to follow. So here are a few of the small things I have noticed lately, that really do add up in the long run.
The smell of a new book
Fresh flowers {always and always}
An unexpected text from a friend
The sighting of blooms on trees
Turning on the television and finding your favorite movie is just getting ready to start
Dogs playing
Dog cuddles
A fresh, warm pizza with the perfect cheese to sauce ratio
Fresh bed sheets
The perfect seventy-degree day
The smell of fresh cut grass
Amazing Sales
Discovering a forgotten gift card
Warm cookies fresh out of the oven
The sound of rain right before you fall asleep
Listening to Rat Pack music
The feel of the sun on your back
Having a perfect eye liner day
Having a perfect hair day
Bringing a smile to another person’s face
