Quite often we hear the expression, "It's about the little things that make life worth living."

I am not sure if you agree or disagree, but one thing I can assure you is that quite often the "big things" are the sum of many little things.

If you think of love, it is not just "love" but what makes of it. Such as support, laughter, getting through hardships together, being there for one another, learning about one another and all of the little things in between.

As school starts back up, we get back into our routines, another summer behind us, it's easy to get bogged down in our day to day life and forget to appreciate all of the little joys in like that make worth living.

Here a list to remind you of the wonderful "little things" that make our lives worth living...

1. A hug from someone you love.

2. When you first notice the trees are changing color in the fall.

3. The joy of cracking open a new book.

4. That first sip of coffee on a cold morning.

5. A great hair day.

6. The feeling after a good workout.

7. Petting a dog.

8. A phone call with your parents.

9. Pay day.

10. Discovering a song you like.

11. A new sweatshirt that fits just right.

12. Clean laundry.

13. A free afternoon.

14. Finishing a Netflix series.

15. When your phone is fully charged.

16. The smell outside after it rains.

17. Crawling into bed after a long day.

18. A good laugh.

19. A kiss on the forehead.

20. Laying down on the grass.

As we set back into our routines, remember the little things and be thankful for them. Don't take anything for granted, not the foliage on your ride to work, not that cozy sweater and especially not that first sip of coffee.
