Things to love about life!



                          






I thought this would be a good idea for a blog post, to act as a boost for us all to remember and smile about the simple, yet beautiful things life has to offer. These are a random list of things, feelings and moments which, when I dwell on them, make life worth living and bring me so much happiness.

You know we all think about the big purpose in life, me included, and for us who enjoy it, who says we should stop? However, one very important element to our own happiness is surely the little things, the often unexpected moments which never really pass on but stay with us to hopefully be repeated again and again...

  • Cherry Blossoms.....in abundance, everywhere and anywhere.
  • Really cold apple juice
  • Hitting the pillow after a long, busy and productive day!
  • Netflix... simple as... 
  • That first bite of a chocolate bar, especially if you're hungry.
  • Being called pretty or finding out someone likes you! 
  • Finding the perfect temperature in the shower!
  • Having a number of things on in one day, and also having absolutely nothing to do for an entire 24 hours...
  • Gazing out the window in the morning to a beautiful, sunny day.
  • Bouncing a tennis ball on a racket outside, and watching it soar into such an infinite sky with so many possibilities
  • Being in an environment where you feel welcomed and wanted.
