Little Joys, Big Smiles

Some of life’s sweetest moments are small and simple. Yet, it’s important that we stop and “smell the roses.”

Lately, a few simple things that have brought me happiness are:

Mornings sitting outside listening to worship music.

Listening to my brother play guitar.

Nights relaxing in the hot tub.

Baby snuggles.

Granted, these things may seem ordinary, but they are the little pieces of life that add up to the biggest smiles. Joy is all around us, even when we may not realize it. It’s important to appreciate not only the big milestones in life, but the little things too. Sometimes happiness looks like grabbing coffee with a friend, spending time with family, or simply soaking up some sunshine. The more I pay attention to these simple joys, the more gratitude I have. Life isn’t perfect, and it goes by in the blink of an eye, so let’s slow down and be grateful for the little joys that add up to big smiles.
