In my last Wisdom Wednesday I shared a quote by Robert Brault which said
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
This quote stuck with me for some time and I started to look at all the little things that made a big difference. I decided to write them all down and see how long the list would get. I ended up compiling a list of 50 things that make me incredibly happy. These things are very simple and nothing special but they make me feel good and change my mood on bad days. These things can be different for everyone but maybe you can relate to one or more things from my list π so here we go
- Chocolate and all kind of candy
- Long drive with good company
- Lighting a candle on cold winter days
