It's the little things in life that make me happy. The tiny moments that go by in your day. The small things that make you smile. You know? I wrote a post the other day about the things I was thankful for and I wanted to elaborate a little more. In that post, I mentioned things like friends and family, books, etc. I wanted to elaborate on the smaller things, the things that happen in a day that I have been paying more attention to. Here's a few: 

Breakfast in bed: I don't even mind if I have to make it for myself and come back to curl under the blanket. 
Cuddling in bed: sometime it just feels good to hold the person you love and watch the world pass by outside your window. 
A smile: you don't know what someone is going through, I try and smile to at least 5 people each day. 
Watching the sunrise/sunset: nature is incredibly beautiful, and whether you're watching the new day begin or another day end it's very rewarding. 
A pair of warm socks from the dryer: with all of this cold weather recently there has been something very comforting to throw a pair of socks in the dryer for 10 minutes and then placing them on my feet. 
Receiving flowers: Joshua always brings home fresh flowers for absolutely no reason, but I have been known on the occasion to order flowers for myself - the world will be a devastating place when you can't by yourself flowers. 
A lazy evening: I try to allow myself one night a week where I eat dinner in front of the TV, put on a movie, have a bath, read a book and drink a tea. 
Candles: the ability to light a dozen candles, turn off all the lights and meditate... enough said. 
Pyjamas: you know those days where you literally don't take off your pyjamas - aren't they just the best?!?
Waking up but not having to be anywhere: those mornings (usually weekends) where you have no where to be all morning which means you can stay huddled under the blankets and cuddle :-)
Forehead kisses: enough said.
