Little Things

Waiting for the big moments in life to bring you happiness involves a whole lot of waiting. Because of that, I have decided to recount the little things in life that make me happy. When I think about it, there are a lot of thinks that make me happy and manage to bring a smile on my face. I want to celebrate those little things.

  2. Old photos.
  3. Chocolate. In any shape or form. 
  4. Falling asleep to the sound of rain.

  1. I wandered upon your blog just now. I do not believe in coincidence, and I do not believe it's a coincidence that you began your "Little Things" blog(s) on my birthday (July 2nd). I also do not find it to be coincidence that the quotation on your sidebar (the one about there being a dark shadow of love even in parting) directly applies to my life in my current situation/circumstance. All the above being said, you have helped me immensely just in my reading of your sidebar. I will take this occurrence as a cue to continue reading in on your blog. Thank you for your posts. :)
