For almost 50 years, there has been millions of little things that have made me happy. I used to use tiny spiral notebooks ( ok, i still do), then larger notebooks and finally a computor, an iphone and now an ipad. I have made entry after entry of pictures, ideas, blogs, daily inspirtational quotes messages, God showed up....., Peak & Pit of the day...., and ME Without YOU.....
Sometimes on a gray day or when i need a pick me up, I will flip through or scroll through my collection to cheer myself up or remind myself of all the reasons i have to be grateful. It's a great way to reminisce, wish and dream. I hope you find, as I did that happiness comes from noticing and enjoying the little things in life.
