In order to appreciate the "little" things in life we first need to know what they are. My "little thing" and yours may be completely different but we all have them! As you stroll through life you become more and more aware what "little" things were personally picked out for you to experience and appreciate. You need to keep your eyes and ears open at all times, for you wouldn't want to miss a good one! Here are some little things I have come to appreciate in my life...
- The sun rise
- The sun set
- A wish on a falling star
- a child's eye lashes

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of falling starts - August is the Leonids meteor shower and you just reminded me I need to mark my calendar for it. I always go out to make a wish for Levi since that's the month he was born.
ReplyDeleteLittle Things I Enjoy: A chubby dog sleeping by my feet, a really good pillow, my favorite yoga pants, nature, being in nature with my kids and my job. :) Great post! Stopping by from SITS.
ReplyDeleteLove this list and agree with many of them. I have never seen a rainbow in the moonlight...that sounds spectacular!
ReplyDeleteLove all your "little things." My "little things": candlelight, kids' boundless energy, puppy kisses, strong tea, good song on a radio, blue sky, a ladybug that landed on me, someone spilling the milk and that someone wiping it up before I could say a word... I have so many! I do yoga every day and it does a really good job of training mind to appreciate little things.
ReplyDeleteLove your list! I love so many things you mentioned. I would add the smell of cupcakes or a freshly bathed child, having someone brush your hair, glancing at your spouse as you watch your child revel in their accomplishments, the sound of the waves at the ocean. I could go on and on!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great list. And I agree with you, it's important to appreciate even the little things in life.
ReplyDeleteThe back of a baby's head when their sitting in your lap.
