Life's Little Things

Life if full of little things that make us smile.  With help from some friends, I came up with a pretty long list of little things that make people smile!  Hopefully they'll make you smile, too.  

  • Fried chicken on the 4th of July
  • Fireworks



      • Finding a good book- I'm definitely a book worm, and getting into a book is one of the best feelings in the world. 
      • Birthday wishes- not just the Facebook "Happy Birthday!", I mean when someone goes out of their way, to send you a text, or call you and sing happy birthday!  
      • Swings
      • Cute little kids..basically anything they do, but especially their laughter.  It's so contagious!  
      • Snow on Christmas Eve
      • Reaching into your pants pocket and finding money!  
      • Weddings- How could you not smile at 2 people being madly in love??
      • Looking through old photo albums
      • Rain- dancing in it, puddle jumping, walks..basically anything in the rain is amazing.
      • Singing
      • Midnight premieres- Being one of the first to see a movie, I've been dying to see definitely puts a smile on my face!
      •  Funny signs- (see bottom of post)
      • Cake batter ice cream with Sprinkles!
      • Kittens, puppies..basically anything in baby form is adorable!  
      • Piggy banks
      • Some good fish and chips
      • Taking a hot bath after a stressful day...feels SO GOOD!
      • Score music from intense movies...such as: Glory Road, Remember the Titans, Pirates of the Caribbean..etc.
      • Spending time with family!  Cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters.    
      • Poetry
      • Bubbles
      • Knock knock jokes and puns- So corny but ya gotta love em!
      • Hugs
      • A nice mullet... BOYS: THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD GO GROW A MULLET.  I've only seen probably 3 nice mullets in my lifetime. 
      • Old couples holding hands in public.  PRESH!
      • Learning to Waltz
      • Bike rides and picnics
      • Not Straightening my hair
      • Mexican food.  I know what you're thinking, NOT CAFE RIO, although, that makes me smile as well..I'm talking about REAL authentic Mexican food.  In Mexico.  Oh it's amazing. 
      • Taking a nap in a hammock
      • Anything from the 90's..especially the show Boy Meets World.  It definitely makes ME smile. 
      • Having a pen pal
      • Protein shakes after you work out
      • Fireflies.  I SO wish we had them in Utah. 
      • Accomplishment
      • A song that describes exactly how you feel.  I would have to say, The Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, and good old T-Swizzle have a song for everything..It's great. 
      • Ferris Wheels at the Carnival
      • Christmas lights 
      • Meeting a new friend
      • Catching up with an old friend
      • Camp fires

      • Lemonade on a sunny day, I prefer peach flavored. 
      • Stargazing 
      • Trick-Or-Treaters.  Handing out candy on Halloween is the best. 
      • Temples
      • Dream Catchers
      •  All of this world's natural beauties- sunsets, sunrises, rainbows, clouds, beaches, rivers, mountains, flowers, trees, the moon, stars..
      • Giving a gift to someone
      • Journaling..and after a while, reading what you wrote a year ago.  
      • Pillow pets
      • Smelly good stuff..like lotion..or fresh cookies cooking in the oven.  
      • Photo bombing random stranger's pictures! You're never going to see them again, so may as well!
      • Rodeos.  Now I'm no cowgirl or anything, but the atmosphere is so much fun. 
      • Comics in the newspaper
      • Boat rides
      • Knowing every word to an old song that comes on the radio.  
      • Piano 
      • Disney fairy tales
      • Collages
      • Putting your headphones in and escaping into your own world
      • Hitting all green lights on your way home
      • Concerts..music is beautiful.

      As you can see, there are SO many things in this world to smile about.  When you are having a bad day, and all you want to do is frown, think of something that made you smile.  We are so blessed!  All of us!  Some are blessed in different ways than others, but we all have something to be thankful for.
