In life, I have learned it is so important to find joy in the little things. Every single day there are things to be thankful for. Here’s a list of a few of my favorite things. It will most certainly be added on to as I experience more.

 

Sand beneath your toes: beaches are so peaceful and the sand leaves you with soft feet

SUNSETS: as most of you know I am obsessed with the sun and the son 🙂 It’s my goal this summer, and on the race to see as many as possible

Quality ballpoint pens: what can I say, I appreciate a good pen

Jumping on trampolines: the other day while I was babysitting for the first time in years I jumped on one and it was so liberating

The swirl at the top of ice cream cones: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

A cold glass of water on a hot day

The feeling of sun on your skin: always wear sunscreen!

Having a child fall asleep in your arms:

A good cup of coffee in the morning: in my case, decaf

Dragonflies: they eat mosquitos, enough said

The feeling of wind rushing through your hair while biking

Having your hair washed by another person

Hugs: always always always hug people, the power of human touch is amazing

The sound of laughter: laugh at yourself and with others

The chills you get while listening to beautiful music

A perfectly fitting pair of jeans: mostly because a good pair of jeans is hard to find

The feeling of water rushing between your hands while swimming

The excitement you feel when a plane takes on: it means a new adventure is about to happen

When you’re running and your breathing matches your steps

GEOCACHING: I’m absolutely addicted and I can’t wait to do it internationally
