Often times, people fail to notice the importance of the 'little' things. There are good things that happen in each day, no matter how horrible you think your day is going.

Our lives are made up of small parts. There are more small things and gestures that happen in the span of our lives than big defining moments. So why don't we appreciate those, for they are a larger part of our lives?

Whoever comments on this blog post, I want you to say two 'little' things that happened to you that day that made you feel good about yourself. Show some love.

Today's 'little' things for me:
Today, my class gave me a CreComm round of applause (although I shouldn't be TOO flattered, since they clap for everything) for my Nana's Sugar Cookies and gave me rave reviews! I really appreciated that guys.

Stacia, today was the first day I have been in a car with you driving. You are a really good driver. I usually feel car sick, I did not feel car sick at all. So, kudos.

Right now I'm sitting beside Zach and Renée, two people from my class that I don't really hang out with too much. It's awesome to feel really accepted with my class, knowing I can hang out with whoever.

When I was waiting for the bus today, I was the first person at my bus stop. Two other women came to the stop, and were standing closer to the road than I was. But when the bus came, they recognized I was there first and told me to go ahead of them so I would have first dibs on seats. Thank you people who recognize Winnipeg Transit courtesies.

I also didn't have to wait to use the microwave today.

What are you 'little' things for today? Did someone make you smile, laugh or just generally feel good about yourself? Let them know.


Here are some other 'little' things that make me smile:

1. When the bus driver tells you to have a nice day. This always makes me feel good. Even if he says it to everyone.

2. On the bus, there is just enough people that no one has to sit beside one another.

3. When it's like that, and the 'overflow' person that comes on the bus decides to sit beside you. Although I don't like sitting beside people on the bus, I find it weirdly flattering.

4. When you put on shoes that were sitting on top of a heating vent before you leave the house. Clothes that just came out of the dryer are good too. And a warm towel right after a shower.

5. When you wake up two minutes before your alarm goes off, so you can shut it off instead off of waking up to BEEEP BEEEP BEEPP

6. Finding a parking spot at Walmart close to the doors.

7. Having a good packed lunch.

8. When someone says they like what you are wearing.

9. When you go to jay-walk, and the coast is clear.

10. When you hit the right 5-minute increment in Winnipeg rush-hour.

11. Getting a call,text or Facebook comment from someone you used to talk to a lot.

12. When someone keeps the door open for you.

13. When someone trusts you enough to ask you to look after their stuff while they go to the bathroom, smoke etc.

14. When someone asks you for help, because they think you know what you're doing.

15. Falling asleep on the couch.

I leave you with the song "My Favourite Things" from the Sound of Music. Enjoy :)
