it's the simple things in life, really.

  • coffee in the mornings
  • checking things off my to-do list
  • warm, clean bed sheets straight out of the dryer
  • a letter in the mail
  • fresh flowers
  • reading a good book
  • getting just the right amount of sleep
  • water with lemon
  • making things with my hands
  • my new gray marker
  • taking pictures and preserving memories
  • being with the people i love most in this world
  • laughing so hard my tummy hurts
  • evenings walks
  • smoothies
  • hammocks
It's amazing how much joy can be found in the simple things in life. I think it's so important to take a moment to stop and appreciate these things. Take time to enjoy them. :)

Here's a list of more simple pleasures to brighten your day.

    Hammocks though? Straight to my heart. I need one, and soon.
