List of Ten #1

So many people find themselves stuck in the rut of waiting. They look over the distant horizon hoping things will be better when. But rather than waiting for when, why not begin celebrating today? It can be easy to let moments pass us by — those moments that may not take our breath away, but that still bring us joy and delight right where we are. Here and now. In the present.

I feel inspired to reflect on the small things, to quickly list the things I love right now, without thinking too hard about it. It’s kind of like the idea behind Ann Voskamp’s #1000gifts campaign to go along with her book (which is amazing, I highly recommend it). I want to start this exercise, and I hope you will as well – acknowledging that which we may not take the time to really enjoy but that we should.

Here’s my list of 10 favorite things at this very moment:

1. The chance to see the sunrise every morning I get up for early exercise. 

2. Deep, belly laughter

3. Sitting around the kitchen with J and my parents, moments of unhurried conversation

4. Visiting potential homes with my fiance

5. Editing and sharing an interesting photo

6. The taste of ice cold water

7. A mocha iced coffee on a particular long day

8. The small, sweet comfort of sleeping in my “childhood” bed for a few weeks

9. Building colorful salads for lunch

10. Fun organizational apps

Simple joys of lately.
