Little things can make your life so beautiful...

I was just wondering about how little things in life can make your life so much more beautiful if you take the time to appreciate them. For example, I was just thinking how looking forward I am being every evening to go cozy in bed and read from a book which I am really enjoying. I feel so relaxed and happy while doing this. It is something so simple yet so effective. It would be so nice if we took the time to appreciate tiny things we do throughout the day which can actually make our life a bit better or more meaningful. Being more appreciative to little things can make us so much better.

Hi there! Yes, I'm still around...lol. My husband was in the hospital a bit over a week, and since he's been out I haven't had an ounce of free time until today. Next week should be better so I'll be back in touch with you then.
Anyway. Every morning, even though I have a coffee maker, I get up, get dressed, and walk across the street to the 7-11 for a medium size coffee and a chocolate frosted cake donut. For some reason, this little routine each morning is the bang I need to start my day. I get home, sit at my computer and check my email, while enjoying this first cup of coffee and the donut.
The rest of the day can go helter-skelter and such - but as long as I have my little morning routine I can handle it.

I am happy to see you around again dear. The way I start my morning also affects me a great deal. I like to wake up before the rest of the family so as to settle a few things before starting the waking up and preparation routine for school and work. When my kid wakes up with me, it makes me change a bit of my little routine - that simple 15mins with a hot cup of coffee, some biscuits and checking my emails is important forme to start off the day. but when my little one wakes up during those fifteen minutes I have to prepare the breakfast earlier and so on. Obviously there is nothing wrong with that, but I just prefer to stay at least for 10mins alone to truly manage to wake up and come to my senses lol , so what I mean is that just like you little things do have an impact on the rest of the day.

I know exactly what you mean about that little bit of "me" time to start the day! And even to end it...I think many mothers feel the same, wanting a bit of alone time before the day's routine begins, along with a bit before the day ends, because in between is so full of "others' time.

It is wonderful to be able to stop and think about all of those things in your life that just make you feel as though you're incredibly lucky. One of the things that I like is my family and spending time with them. I am never happier in any situation than when I am talking to my family about the things that they have done during the course of their day, and I know that I would not be happy if I wasn't able to do this. I am very easily amused and I know that this is good in a way because it means that I am easy to please in the long term.

Yes time spent with the family members is unbelievably wonderful, especially in such a hectic world. Just spending a few minutes playing with yyour kids, reading a bedtime story, or singing along with them and doing funny things makes the world seem so much more beautiful. At times I am so happy with my little family and our bond that I am close to tears. Love and family ties are so strong and important.

I also love to climb into bed...snuggle down in my warm blankets and read. That is a true pleasure....as is my crafting. I turn the music on and work on making things...and I love being able to create different things......you are right..little pleasures make life beautiful.

Exactly, no matter how small or simple those things are, if we know how to appreciate it- it will bring us happiness that money cannot buy.
People who finds life so miserable and unfair are the ones who doesn't know how to appreciate little things around them.
Those who doesn't have contentment in life will never find happiness because their heart is full of greed.

You are so very right. There are so many times in our lives that we don't take the time at all to think about the little things in our lives that make it more enjoyable.
For me, I love to take the time to read a little bit every evening while I am relaxing. Well, it is something that is really simple, but it is something that I look forward to and something that does keep me challenged to a certain extent.
We should always take out the time to appreciate the simple pleasures in our lives.
