Simple Joys

I believe that a happy life is the end product of a compilation of simple joys that are built up over an extended period of time. Ordinary things. Things that make your heart smile or add a little happiness to your day. Things that are not necessities, rather simple little pleasures. So here is a list of my top 5 simple joys at the moment...

1. Mud on the Jeep

I don't know why... but for me, there is something special about mud on a Jeep. It means there is a story to tell; it screams adventure and chances are pretty good that if there is mud on my Jeep, the only thing washing it away will be the rain.

2. Glass of Cabernet Sauvignon

Every once in a blue moon (no pun intended for its beer rival), a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon at night is the perfect way to end the day.

3. Matcha Tea Face Mask

Just when I thought I couldn't get anymore matcha in my life, I stumbled upon a Teatox Matcha Tea + Clay face mask at Marshalls and for $6.99, I could not pass it up (could not find a picture of mine online so uploaded another one instead). Anyway, I know in my previous "Marshalls Finds" blog, I mentioned that I didn't have time for face masks - until I found this one that is. So now a little joy is added to my day through the means of matcha tea mixed with clay.

4. Morning Coffee

The taste of coffee, the aroma of coffee and the buzz of a small little coffee shop - immediate joy.

5. Falling Asleep To The Sound Of Rain

For me, there is nothing more relaxing than falling asleep to the sound of rain (except for when I know it is washing the mud off my Jeep!).

So those are my 5 simple joys at the moment. Be sure to find little things that bring you joy and make the time to capture them. Do not wait for happiness, look for every opportunity you can to create it. Every. Single. Day.
