Having a shower one day and I thought to myself this is one of those small things that makes life good. How can something such as a warm shower make life feel so fantastic? I know we take many of the things that we do daily for granted. The things is when we take things for granted it’s when we sometimes no longer feel grateful for them. I realized that it truly the little things that can make a difference. I like the simple things as I realize that “all that glitters is not gold.” Sometimes it’s just better for me to just chillax and not take on the world. Maybe it can be said that I show no ambition but I don’t need or want to own the world. I just need to thrive.

So I started thinking of all the little things that I can think of that make my life lovely.

◦ Sunshine- I get depressed when it overcast for too long

◦ The sea. I realize that I took this for granted as I would see it daily

◦ The mountains. Again, took this for granted because it’s there.

◦ Conversation with my children. They all have different perspectives because they are different personalities.

◦ Laughing with my family. I realize again I took this for granted because I have a family. Not just immediate but just family.

◦ Cooking a great meal. For me it’s not even about eating but making the meal that others will enjoy.

◦ Silence. Yes sometimes we need it.

◦ Peace of mind.

◦ Running water.

◦ Listening to music

◦ Paying bills. Yes even this. I can actually pay for what I use. The fact is I have a roof over my head and food to eat. This is massive now that I think about it. Again taken for granted.

◦ Reading a book. The fact that I can afford books, I can read and no one censors what I read.

This list is not exhausted by any stretch of the imagination. I would love to know what your list looks like. Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too.
