30 Of The Greatest Joys In Life

We all go through our life, day in and day out, appreciating the big events which bring us happiness. We look forward to birthdays, Christmas morning, being successful in our career, receiving an award, or even making a good grade on a test. However, of these big events, the happiness seems to get lost in the hustle bustle of stress. It's truly the smaller, simple joys in life that make happiness worth while. The simplicities of life are one we all experience regularly. Here are some of the simplicities we all go through in our everyday lives.


1. Sonic's Happy Hour.

2. Getting into bed with freshly cleaned sheets.

3. Rubbing your eyes when you don't have on any makeup.

4. Finding surprise money in your pockets.

5. Receiving mail in your mailbox.

6. Hearing the song on the radio that has been in your head all day.

7. Finishing your "To-Do" list.

8. Making someone else laugh.

9. Going for a walk on a breezy, spring day.

10. Reminiscing with your closest friends.

11. Using a warm towel after a shower.

12. Receiving a compliment you didn't expect from someone.

13. The exact moment when something finally makes sense or an idea you created actually works.

14. Having five more minutes to sleep.

15. Bra off. Hair up. Sweatpants on.

16. A smell that brings back memories.

17. When someone you care about shows that they know more about you than you thought.

18. Taking your shoes off after a long day.

19. Being able to look at someone and know that you're both thinking the same thing.

20. The first bite of a delicious meal.

22. The first time someone you haven't seen in a while hugs you.

23. Walking out of the hair salon just after you had your hair cut or colored.

24. Finding the clothes you've been looking for on the clearance rack.

25. The excitement your dog has when you come home.

26. When the recipe you've spent hours working on comes out perfectly.

27. The look on someone's face the first time they see the ocean.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
