The Little Things Count

I've noticed lately that it's truly the little insignificant happenings in life that can truly make or break having a good day. Yes, "in the grand scheme of things," as my mom always says, they don't matter. However, there are some "little things" in life that can instantly put you in a good mood.

For example, I was driving home from dance practice today, and somehow miraculously made every green light - without speeding, mind you - and never had to stop until I pulled into my driveway. I'm not sure why, but this minuscule feat of mine had me in a good mood for the next 4 or 5 hours.

Here are some other "little things" that always make me happy:

- hearing my favorite song come on the radio

- hearing an old favorite song on the radio, and realizing that I still remember all of the lyrics

- chocolate cake and a cold glass of milk

- running into an old friend and chatting so much that it's like it's only been a few days, instead of a few years, since we last saw each other

- striking up a random conversation with a friendly stranger

- saying the exact same thing at the exact same time as one of my friends, thus realizing that we practically have the same mind

What "little things" make you happy? I'd love to hear back! :)
