Just take a minute and think of the little things that would make your day a little brighter. I did just that and came up with a list of simple things that make the day a little more enjoyable.
- More stairs in the building I work at as it is the only real exercise that I get.
- Just the right song at the right moment on your way home.
- The slow waking of a lazy day with the fall breeze blowing in through the open window.
- Conversations that last for hours even if they are endless ramblings of an awaken mind.
- Inspiration to come as I am sitting in front of my computer instead of when I am stuck in a line without paper to jot them down.
- To not get the last of the fries before they drop a new batch.
- A day of laying in a hammock reading as the leave fall from the trees around me.
- Having the answers to those difficult questions your children ask.
- More time with the people I love. Those moments are too fleeting.
- Being able to love the work I do as much as I love the times at home.
- Having more inside jokes that only “we” know the meaning and laugh at the very thought of them.
- The smell of fresh coffee as I wander, blurry eyed into the kitchen first thing in the morning.
- To be sitting under a blanket, with the person I love next to the fire as we watch the flame perform their dance.
- For procrastination to have a 12-step program that works. At least a patch or something.
- That all of life’s lessons were in a text-book. I would study it, I promise.
- To not have to wonder why we go through AA batteries so quickly.
- The ability to leave the door unlocked and know you are still safe.
- That someone somewhere wouldn’t have just one more for the road.
- That my worse fear would only be if I left the light on.
- Keeping the ones I love safe, giving them the guidance I can and never having to say goodbye.
