~ It’s not the big stuff

It’s not the big stuff that ignites the heart. It’s small acts of kindness, love and compassion;
~a gentle touch,
~a reassuring glance,
~listening without judgment,
~showing up for each other,
~a call asking if they’re okay,
It’s these little bits of goodness we sprinkle over each other’s lives that make life better.

Let’s sprinkle more of the good stuff on this crazy, noisy, old world today! ( and every day)

Simple things~

Life’s big beautiful things,
really are the small, simple,
joyful, things🔆.
~a smile from a stranger
~that first sip of coffee in the morning
~watching the sun rise or set
~the quiet that comes with the snowfall
~a lingering hug
~a hand to hold
~a friend to call
~puttering in a garden
~ hearing a baby laugh
~someone who listens
~a thank you
~ a puppy on your lap
~a heartfelt apology
~a walk in the forest
~walking barefoot on the grass
~the smell of fresh lavender
~ a bubble bath
~feeling the wind caress your face,
~waves rolling onto shore
~sitting next to a crackling campfire
~the colours of autumn leaves
~waking up and feeling well
~peanut butter cups 😋

… and so much more.

The best things, the really good things, are the millions of beautiful, simple (often free) things that help get us through the difficult things.

I hope this day, and every day, is filled with simple, beautiful things that offer you comfort and bring you joy.
