I love the small things in life that bring great joy. There are so many events/objects/people in everyday life that we don't think about; these are the things that make me truly happy. Sure the big things like birthdays, trips, etc. bring happiness but these things do not happen as frequently. I wish that I was observant enough to make a long list of all the things that make me smile but most of the time I don't notice. I am sure I don't notice because I am so lucky; I am happy so often that I don't pay attention to the little things that bring joy. I am aware that there are many people who are in a place where they are never happy. I work with kids/people who are so depressed or anxious that they don't know how to feel happiness. This is just another reminder to be thankful.
Currently, the things making me happy are: getting in better shape, I just started a running program and I am excited every time I run further/longer.
My flowers. It seems like every weekend, Ben and I are out planting. Last weekend, Ben spray painted me a new pot. It is beautiful. We bought a Lilly to plant in it.
