It's the Little Things

I will try to keep this short as I'm at work but two different people said the same comment to me yesterday. They said that they love it how I find such joy in the little things in life ie. they find it funny how little things amuse me. Like I had a lot of fun eating my noodle soup yesterday because I have fun finding the last remaining noodles amongst all the "mess" in the soup and it's a reward when I find them because I get to eat it!!

Okay that sounds quite silly but I do find that it's important to take a step back and be grateful for everything you have because although there might be little shitty stuff (and sometimes big bad stuff) that happens in life, we really are very lucky. It's easy to get caught up on little problems and have them get you down and not appreciate all the good stuff you already have. Unfortunately a lot of the times, I only really appreciate something when I lose it or go without it for awhile.

Where am I getting at? Oh yes the little things. These are some of the little things that made me feel happy this week- a kid taking pics of herself with her mum's camera phone on the train, reading poems from Terry, choosing library books with Para, being out in the sun when I'm not meant to at work.... Yes call me simple but little things do make me happy!
