There are simple things in life that are just perfect and irreplaceable. Little joys that make you smile and some times even turn your bad day around. Here are some of mine.
There is nothing like driving around with the windows down, music blasting and singing at the top of my lungs. Nothing. It’s therapeutic.
Cleaning is also therapeutic for me. I get into these strange organizational modes and I end up taking all the clothes out of my dressers and closet and refolding and reorganizing them by color/category. Within weeks, it get messed up again but it’s the process more than the result that makes it worthwhile for me.
That moment I hit the bed after a long day and get under the covers and my whole body is covered by the light cool touch of my blanket. I never want to leave. Especially in the morning when it’s unfathomable that I’ve already slept through a whole night!
When MY SONG comes on at the club/bar (and there are several that I go crazy for lol). I needn’t say more.
A really good hug from a loved one. Whether it be from a family member, friend, or my boyfriend, there is nothing better than one of those long, heartfelt hugs. I feel loved. safe. at peace.
So smile. Relish in the moment. Fully appreciate those little moments you get everyday that you might not always be aware of.
I’d like to share a picture with you that always brings a smile to my face. It was taken in Seattle while visiting our awesome friend Marlen!
I actually laughed out loud when I first saw this picture. We look so ridiculous, especially me, but I love this picture. I am well overdue for a vacation. Can’t wait til my road trip to North Carolina in a few weeks!!
Fun Becky Fact: I like making small paper boats. If you’ve spent time with me, you’ve probably witnessed this. Some of you have even been a lucky recipient of one of these magnificent boats! But yea, gum wrappers are my material of choice. I think I do it because I like to keep my hands busy but also they’re just fun. And a good way to recycle that paper that would just end up in the garbage anyways.
