The little things

Today I am grateful for all the little moments of pleasure that, when you add them up, turn out not to be so little after all!

I'm talking about things like going to make the bed and finding it's been made for you; hearing a song on the radio that you love to sing along with; running an errand that gives you a 5 minute walk in the sunshine in the middle of an otherwise indoor day; coming home to three big hugs and a cup of tea.

When you add them all up it makes an otherwise mundane and tiring day seem like quite a good day after all!

You don't normally notice these moments...well, I know I don't. But if you do...if you stop and say "that was nice" every time one of these small moments happen, who knows how happy you'll be by the end of the day!

I challenge you all to do it tomorrow! Watch out for the little things and notice them. Acknowledge them with a smile. And don't forget to let me know how you get on. That'll be one more thing for me to smile about!

Gratefully yours.
