I was inspired by Cup of Jo’s simple pleasures post to come up with my own list of little things that make me giddy. It’s interesting to me that as my life and world become more complex, these things become even simpler. Similar to practicing gratitude, I think taking time to appreciate and engage in the little things that make you happy can really add up.
Any day that’s sunny and 70’s
The squeals generated by Emerson when Matt walks in the door
Getting to the register and finding out something is even cheaper than I thought
Manchego + olives + crackers
Spicy margs
Emerson at the beach
Playing a newly discovered song on repeat
Closing my eyes at night
A new novel
Candles + indie music on a cozy night
Breezes through an open window
A new jar of Whole Foods 365 peanut butter (after Matt has stirred it for me)
Flannel sheets
Icing
Clean hair
Dusk
What are your simple pleasures in life?
