The Little Things...

Today's blog is dedicated to the little things and the people who embrace them. I am really trying to become a person that finds great joy in life's little pleasures. I think since I have begun to live more simply I have been able to find joy more simply. I think back to all of the incredible things I have had the opportunity to do in my 23 years and how so often I still felt discontent. I wonder how many days I went to bed restless, pissed, angry, sad, yearning and had overlooked so many simple pleasures that exsisted within that day? Therefore, without further ado, a list of things that on any given day makes mine a little brighter :) I hope this inspires you all to start putting a little more stock in the simple pleasures of your life too!
