Friday, I was introduced to The Book of Awesome. Essentially it is a book filled with small things that sometimes we don't even realize make us happy. When my roommates and I started talking about it they came up with a few more things to add to the list. Finding happiness in small things is so important to have continued joy in everyday life. Here are few of my small joys I had on my list:
Frost on windows |
The sound the leaves make in the wind |
The way everything looks when the sun is going down |
Old buildings with lots of detail |
Getting mail |
- Sneezing - Falling asleep with wet hair - Jumping out to scare someone at just the right moment
Finally getting that part in a piece of music you've been working on |
- Communicating a joke without using words - Waking up from a bad dream -Walking over small bridges
Fall |
- Spilling something everywhere, but not getting any of it on you - When the 'walk' sign comes on just when you come to the intersection
The smell of fresh baked bread |
A reason to dress up |
- When a good looking stranger smiles at you - Listening to the rain as you go to sleep in a warm bed
playing the perfect April fool's day joke |
- Remembering the response to a question you couldn't answer just before you hand in your test - Clothes that still have the price tag attached, hanging in your closet -Your favorite song starts to play when you just get into the car
When someone leaves a note for you |
