40 of Life's Simple Pleasures



Sometimes we miss the little joys of life that are right in front of our noses because we are too focused on finding the big ones.

1. Being under a snuggly blanket when it's chilly outside.

2. Getting complimented.

3. Sparkly nail polish.

4. Football season. Even if you don't love the sport, we can all appreciate the delicious food!

5. Sweet tea.

6. Holding hands with your significant other.

7. Paying forward random acts of kindness.

8. Ice-cream cones.

9. Disney movies. No matter your age, singing along with Ariel or Cinderella is a must.

10. Having a best friend.

11. Being thanked.

12. Having the door held open for you.

13. Warm grass under your feet.

14. First loves.

15. True loves.

16. Siblings. They can be a pain sometimes but that's the point right?

17. Singing your favorite song as loud as you can.

18. Taylor Swift

19. Freedom. We take this for granted but to have freedom is to have more than many in the world.

20. Car radios. Solo jam sessions on the way to work are the best.

21. Cherry pie. Obviously.

22. Jumping into a big pile of crunchy leaves during the fall.

23. Seat warmers. By January my bottom would be frozen without these guys.

24. People watching. This is the most fun (and possibly the creepiest) free activity you can find!

25. A clean house. I always breathe a sigh of satisfaction when I see everything picked up and put away.

26. A new book to read.

27. Blowing bubbles in the summer.

28. Flowers.

29. When a child reaches up to hold your hand.

30. Getting an A on your exam.

31. Or a B for that matter.

32. Riding bikes during the fall.

33. Hot tea to sip on during cold days.

34. Flannel. So cozy.

35. Uggs. I'm sorry but its true.

36. Pandora. Who doesn't love free music!?

37. Seeing someone after a long time apart.

38. Receiving snail mail. #Throwback.

39. Nice conversations with random strangers.

40. Cookie dough. yuuuummmmmmm.

Many of these little pleasures are ones we are lucky to experience. Always count your blessings and don't lose sight of the big picture in life while forging towards your end goals,
