This morning when I was checking up on my daily blog reads, I was really inspired by Emily's post about her favorite simple moments-life's everyday pleasures. This really got me thinking and throughout the day I kept making mental notes of some of my own simple moments and I wanted to share them with you. Then, it's your turn to make a top ten list of your own. Kind of like a "pay it forward" of happy little things, because it's nice to think of the positive aspects of our day-to-day lives.
1. When I can leisurely make dinner while listening to relaxing music, such as Etta James.
2. When I go to finish writing a report at work and find that it's already complete, I just forgot that I finished it!
3. When I'm out running errands and I see cute little kids in outfits they obviously chose themselves (i.e. last year's Halloween costume or cowboy boots with a tutu).
4. When a big group of my friends gets together and I pause for a minute to soak it in and appreciate each of them.
5. When my boyfriend brings me flowers for absolutely no reason.
6. When I catch my first glimpse of the bright green grass at a baseball game (especially at Fenway).
7. When I can hear my mom's laugh without seeing her.
8. When I play a really good game of Jeopardy.
9. When I smell something that instantly triggers an old memory (like fresh-cut grass or saltwater).
10. When my sisters and I spend time together-just the 3 of us. And maybe when we wear matching pj's on Christmas too (yes, still).
What's on your list? It's hard to stop at 10 once you get started!
