So much of day-to-day happiness is caused by little things. Catching an unexpected green light, dinner turning out to be delicious, the smell of coffee in the morning, getting a good night's sleep. Things we don't really think of as noteworthy, but they make us happy all the same.
I say cheers to those ordinary things that make life beautiful. Cheers to the things that, when added up, make us so much happier. Cheers to the mundane, boring, and blissful.
Ordinary, little things making me happy this week:
Fall colors. I just can't get enough. It may be 1,000 degrees outside, but every store I go in is covered in reds and golds and mustards and I'm loving it.
Well-done fries at Chick-Fil-A. If you've never tried this, you need to cancel your lunch plans and hit up a drive-thru. Order your fries well-done and 1) You're guaranteed to get steaming hot fries, and 2) they're crunchy and just perfect.
Friday Night Lights. Rewatching an old favorite while doing mundane things like laundry just makes me happy.
Pumpkin everything. It's the most delicious time of the year.
Fall decorations. Nothing says happiness like waking up to get your coffee and being greeted by a cute little scarecrow sitting on the counter.
Pumpkin scented candles. They make me all sorts of happy.
The Autumn in New York music station. Full of old songs that make me swoon and remember why this is my favorite season of all.
What little things are making you happy lately?

How have I never known to order my fries well done? So going to try it! Is The Autumn in New York Station on Pandora? Spotify?
ReplyDeleteHAHA, I love that you call them 'well done' fries. I always order my fries that way, but we call it 'extra crispy' :) I love the small things, when I'm stressed out or in a funk, I remind myself to enjoy them...it instantly calms me down. xoxo, ganeeban
ReplyDeleteTexas Forever. I am rewatching FNL too!
ReplyDeleteI love fall, too, and all that comes with it!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you edit those photos on? they look so cute :D
ReplyDeleteUmmm what?! Well-done? That sounds delicious! I was telling Jordan the other day how I wanted to re-watch FNL again. It is such a great show.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Autumn everything is making me happy :)
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree it is the little things :] I love pumpkin scented candles.

This is a really beautiful post, and one I agree so wholeheartedly with! The small little moments that make up the everyday are some of the happiest that I don't want to forget! xx
ReplyDeleteLove this- just the little pick-me-up I needed this morning! It's easy to let work and stress take over, but there really are so many things to enjoy/be happy about each day. New fall candles are definitely high on my list right now :)
ReplyDeleteThe little things in life are definitely the stuff that impacts you overall way more than you'd ever realize. Mine is all about the cool weather and my wardrobe options being expanded. That and I've had a concert heavy agenda the last few weeks. (P.S. - this post made me sad I've never had Chick-Fil-A ever!)
