Well I was thinking that life is very hard and that there are alot of times when it is hard just to get up in the morning and you feel as if if one more thing goes wrong then your just gonna jump out the window ( well i feel that way at least) and then I thought maybe it is becuase we are always waiting for good things to happen and forget that they happen all the time so my question is what are the little things that make you happy becasue after all with out the little things in life the hard things would be unbarable so to everyone out there will to share what are you simple joys in life?

too many to list

but thank you for reminding me. It is the little things that matter. These small joys that we often take for granted. The "ordinary miracles" that surround us.

Life is beautiful. We have to focus on the beauty, even when surrounded by ugliness.

By being grateful for the little things, we can find greater happiness & meaning in our lives.
