To find happiness and joy in our days doesn’t require something big or exciting.  We simply need to look for the beauty in the thousands of moments that generally just pass us by.

It is the small things: the feel of your child’s hand in yours, the aroma from your favorite cup of hot tea, the exquisite creamy texture of a bite of good ice cream, the feel of your barefoot feet in the soft grass, the soft warmth of your favorite blanket.

Big and unusual occurrences can indeed be spectacular, but they aren’t necessary for daily happiness and fulfillment.

What have you found to celebrate in your everyday life?

“I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
