I was having a pretty good day on tuesday. things were going well, i was done with classes for the day and i was happy. later at dinner, a friend asked me how my day had been and i responded with a rather gloomy "ok" as though it had been a not so good day. why was this my response? out of habit i responded as though my day was just so-so, because often that is how i feel. too often i overlook the many happy little things that make my day great. i don't "enjoy" my day because i do not acknowledge the things that made me happy. i am challenging myself to look for and enjoy the little things in life that bring me joy. it is such a great reminder that even the little things are blessings from God.
my list from tuesday:
using exact change- i love paying for things with coins. i bought a 98 cent stamp {for a letter to england} and i paid for the whole thing with coins. a quarter, seven dimes, and three pennies!
devotionals- i bought two new devotionals that i love! they are all about growing the fruit of the spirit in you life. i'm going through peace right now. something every college student needs :)
flying on airplanes- i bought my plane ticket home for easter break. not only do i love flying on airplanes but going home means seeing my family whom i love as well.
banana chocolate chip muffins- this is what i had for breakfast and it was delicious. so good! bananas and chocolate were made for each other.
cool weather- i am a true oregon girl. i love cloudy days, rain, and the cold. don't get me wrong i enjoy going to school in california and the sun is a nice change but i get very happy when it is on the colder side. scarves and jackets are just so cozy.
hot chocolate- i made a cup of hot chocolate for while i did all of my reading. i love chocolate and i love it in liquid form. it made reading for class lots better.
write down the things that make you happy and make you smile throughout the day that way you will always have something to be joyful about :)
