Happiness in the little things

Every single day, we live our lives, oblivious to the small things that happen around us. Many a times we choose to ignore them but there is so much bliss that the little things can give us that it can be quite overwhelming sometimes. Here are a few (Well, okay! Not few) little things that can make you happy just by their mere existence or occurrence; all we need to do is acknowledge them, by all our five senses.

  1. Chirping of a bird
  2. Smell of first rain
  3. Rains
  4. Music playing out of nowhere
  5. Smiling children
  6. A baby’s hand wrapped around your finger
  7. Soulful music
  8. Happy old people
  9. Love
  10. Friendship
  11. Beautiful weather
  12. The smell of babies
  13. Inspiring happy quotes appearing randomly
  14. Colors (bright and beautiful)
  15. A long drive
  16. With a loved one, maybe
  17. Friend calling just to say hello
  18. The smell of perfectly-cooked food
  19. Daddy’s concern
  20. Mother’s care
  21. The sight of a place holding fond memories
  22. Nature
  23. Bumping into an old friend
  24. Knowing how much they have changed, for good
  25. A smile from someone you just helped a little
  26. Or maybe a little more
  27. A good book
  28. Walk through the meadows
  29. On the beach
  30. Just a walk
  31. Family time
  32. Old pictures

While I try to compile this happy list, it comes to me that there are so many things that can brighten your soul in just the least of time, all you need is to know how to appreciate and enjoy its power to give to you. Maybe there is a lot more to add to this one, next blog maybe, maybe…
