As I get older, I get more convinced that the little moments make our best life. So many of these we take for granted or dismiss too easily, to only realize one day they were the ones that mattered the most…

With all the negativity coming at us lately, you can say that I’m determined to bring some light into your life… To make you look for the little moments — those small pockets of joy we experience daily, and yet, don’t give much thought to. Here’s a headstart:

When you experience a stunning sunset or sunrise…

A fresh cup of coffee… or tea!

Your favorite food!

A book so good you have trouble putting it down…

Your favorite song coming on the radio… or whatever else you listen to…

A long hot shower at the end of the day…

Slipping into clean sheets at night…

Waking up rested…

Bringing home fresh flowers…

A clean home…

Your pet waiting for you by the door when you get home…

A loved one’s tight hug…

Snuggles with your favorite person or… creature…

Laughing uncontrollably!

An evening with good friends…

Feeling energized.

A warm sweater or blanket on a cold day…

Finding the perfect gift…

Bringing a smile to someone else’s face…

A good movie or show keeping you at the edge of your seat…

Fluffy clouds that ignite your imagination…

The sound and smell of rain…

A cool breeze on a warm day.

A refreshing drink on a hot day.

Smells or foods that bring back happy childhood memories…

Nostalgia…

Finding a perfect shell on the beach…

Your favorite perfume…

When a ladybug lands on you…

When a stranger compliments you…

When your skin is glowing…

When you find the dress of your dreams…

What other little moments would you add to this list?
