I have a ceramic bowl that says “ Enjoy the little things… for one day you’ll look back and realize they were the bigs things”. So true. Great list!

Aww I love that, great bowl.

Pooping 💩 and book shopping 📚

Or pooping after book shopping, so you have new reading material! 😜

This made me smile and it's been a really shitty morning so far. Thank you.

I'm sorry you had a shite morning, but I'm glad this made you smile :)

This is a keeper to reread and share. You kill me kid 😂😂😂😂

Robin Wilding's avatar

Ooh a re-read, nice! And I shall try to continue my murderous humor mission.

Ooooh, I certainly hope so! 😘

"When you take a moment to recognize the joy in the small things, you’ve learned how to live well." No truer words exist!

Puppies and kittens all over me!

Only 47 books in your tsundoku stack? Amateur...

Robin Wilding's avatar

Agreed, a puppy and/or kitten pile is peak joy, albeit hard to get access to.

I love clean sheets on my bed! My eldest daughter takes it a step further and always changes her sheets before she leaves on a trip. She comes home to fresh sheets after a tiring trip. I now do it. Highly recommend. Both my kids and I know how to fold fitted sheets 😝

Robin Wilding's avatar

That...is...brilliant. Since I know I'd never change them after getting home after a day of travel. I will be doing this henceforward.

Also, pfft, fitted-sheet showoff.

Just being in the presence of babies, no matter what they do....

Pooping up their backs? 💩

The smell of honeysuckle, jasmine or daphne flowers gives me a huge dopamine hit. I love this list. I’ll be over here noticing the joy.

Robin Wilding's avatar

Ooh a literal stopping to smell the flowers, great addition.

19. Regarding bookstores (see above), the aroma of new books is heavenly.

20. The taste of freshly brewed coffee (or tea, if that's your preference).

21. Entering a subway train and immediately finding an empty seat.
