I'm a simple person, really. I enjoy the little things in life and I get maybe too excited over minimal things, but I'm not ashamed to admit it. Being able to enjoy the little things in life is an awesome quality and makes you more grateful in general. Here are some of my favorite little things in life.
1. The after beach shower
Bonus points if it's an outdoor shower.
2. Waking up extra early on a nice morning
Accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea.
3. Being outside late at night and it's still warm out
4. The first day you can wear a t-shirt in spring
5. Crunchy fall leaves
6. The smell of your house after being away
Every house has a smell.
7. Going to the mall looking for something specific and finding exactly that
This one is rare.
8. Seeing the exit sign for your destination on a road trip
9. When a stranger smiles at you in passing
Bonus points if they ask how you are.
10. Having flowers in your room
11. A really good breakfast
12. An ice cold drink on a hot summer day
13. Noticing progress on yourself or something you're working on
Whatever it may be... big or small.
14. When someone notices something new about yourself
15. Leaving the salon loving your haircut
And not being totally devastated when they took off more than an inch.
16. Laying on your bed after a stressful day
17. A really hot shower after being outside in the cold
18. Getting a good grade on something you worked really hard for
19. A new candle
20. Cute lights hung in your room or outside of a restaurant
21. Getting into bed with new sheets after a shower
Bonus points if you just shaved your legs too.
22. The feeling of sand on your toes for the first time
23. Changing into comfy clothes after a long day
Taking off your bra, getting out of those awful shoes...
24. Getting tickets to see your favorite band in concert
25. Pedicures
26. Payday
27. Puppies, kittens, or any other cute baby animals
28. Chocolate
Ice cream, candy bars, just chocolate in any form
29. Trying on a really cute shirt and it looks great on you
30. Random good hair days
31. Turning a rainy day into a comfy movie day
Sure, it's great to have really big accomplishments in life and pass huge milestones, but the small day to day things get us through life. We live in a pretty hectic, materialistic world and it's really easy to get caught up in it, so it is even more important we take a step back and appreciate some of the small, yet beautiful, things life has to offer us.
