Sometimes we get so caught up in the negatives and stress in our lives, that we forget to take pleasure in life’s little treasures. Here are a few things that made me smile lately:
Scented candles, especially pumpkin and apple-cinnamon
Going barefoot in the rain
Fresh fruit salad
Happy, healthy tiredness after a good workout
Chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven
Cats purring
Finding money in my coat pocket
The sound of waves crashing
Making funny faces through the webcam to my little sisters
Taking a long, hot shower, then crawling under clean sheets
Doodling with gel pens
Sitting in a hot tub while it’s snowing
A drizzle that becomes a hard rain (and then a thunderstorm!)
Bear hugs from Frank
Palm trees wrapped in twinkling lights
An old couple still deeply in love
Here’s hoping you take a moment to enjoy the little treasures in your world.
Thanks for the reminder to slow down and enjoy what I have.

It’s good to have little things to be thankful for every day, isn’t it.
