"I simply remember my favorite things..."

Have you ever had those moments where you are doing something totally un-extraordinary, something very 'every day' and you realize you love that thing...that happened to me last night. And then, once I recognized it I started thinking of all the little things I absolutely LOVE and then I couldn't STOP thinking about it. Probably a good thing but I really wanted to go to sleep as well so I decided to write them all down. in hopes that I will never forget the little things that make every day so great!

These are a few of my favorite things...

washing my make up off at night

snuggling up when its cold

standing in the rain

long walks

star gazing

having long/good conversations with my roommate until we both fall asleep

dressing up

perfume

campfires

the smell of new babies

red shoes

flip flops and slippers

walking barefoot through the grass

back rubs

having my hair played with

the smell of Christmas trees

just out of the oven cookies

laughing until my stomach hurts

driving with the windows down and singing with the music

reading a good book

the feel of clean sheets

children's books with really good illustrations

when people need me...just to listen

kissing a baby's cheek just after they wake up

trampolines

the way I feel every time the national anthem is sung

sitting in the temple all by myself

the sound of the wind blowing through the trees

summer thunder storms

changing out of my work clothes into comfy ones

roller coasters with my family

road trips with my parents

seeing couples who are so happy they 'glow'

watching old couples who are still in love

when I accomplish something difficult

when the leaves change color

when babies put their arms around my neck

...

yep ...There is just something so calming about recognizing the things that make you feel good! If you haven't made even a mental list of the things that make you happy I would totally recommend it!! "I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel ...so bad"
