The Little Things In Life

I loved this Andy Warhol quote I stumbled across the other day. The yellow is awesome too. It got me thinking- I think sometimes it is easy to forget that the little things are the things that matter in life. I am as guilty as everyone thinking that I need a ‘big thing’ to be happy (buying a house, getting that job, going on that big holiday etc), but really the little things in life are the things that add the sparkle and the interest.

After a lot of consideration I came up with my top ten list of the little things!

 

·         Eating good pizza (never, ever gets old)

·         A new pair of pyjamas (one of my all time favourite pick-me-ups in fact!)

·         A really well made cup of strong, freshly brewed coffee at 6am

·         Hearing your new favourite song on the radio and turning up the volume

·         A glass of a delicious red wine

·         Waking up to sunshine after days of rain. Or waking up to rain when you want that cosy  Sunday staying in.

·         A surprise letter or call from a friend when you get home from work. Not just bills!

·         Playing that old album you haven’t heard for years

·         Laughing with friends and family, you know that ‘I can’t breathe’ laughter

·         Fresh flowers! Seriously, walking home with bouquet you have bought yourself is such a fun feeling!

What are your favourite little things in life? (Cue the Sound of Music soundtrack being stuck in your head for hours!).
