Enjoying the Everyday Things
Hi, all!
It's time for a quick break, a chance to put your feet up and relax for just a minute. We're glad to chat with you today. We just got back from a 'relative' vacation … spent ten days or so visiting aunts, uncles, parents/in-laws, siblings, etc.
We were , however, able to tuck in three days at Myrtle Beach … and it was wonderful! There's not much that's more exciting and uplifting than getting in the car, knowing you're headed somewhere … away from the day-to-day routines that dominate our lives. Just thinking about getting away is a real pick-me-up. Which is why we try to plan at least a weekend away every couple of months.
In the meantime, we've found something else that really made us feel good inside … and we think it will do the same for you. Check out this list, find your favorites, then let us know how they brightened your day.
Natural Highs: Think about them one at a time before going on to the next one.
They'll make you feel Good …
1. Falling in love.
2. Laughing so hard your face hurts.
3. A hot shower.
4. No lines at the supermarket.
5. A special glance.
6. Getting mail.
7. Taking a drive on a pretty road.
8. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
9. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
10. Hot towels fresh out of the dryer.
11. Chocolate milkshake (vanilla or strawberry).
12. A bubble bath.
13. Giggling.
14. A good conversation.
15. The beach.
16. Finding a 20 dollar bill in your coat from last winter.
17. Laughing at yourself.
18. Looking into their eyes and knowing they Love you.
19. Midnight phone calls that last for hours.
20. Running through sprinklers.
21. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
22. Having someone tell you that you're beautiful … or handsome!
23. Laughing at an inside joke.
24. Friends.
25. Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.
26. Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.
27. Your first kiss (either the very first or with a new partner).
28. Making new friends or spending time with old ones.
29 Playing with a new puppy.
30. Having someone play with your hair.
31. Sweet dreams.
32. Hot chocolate.
33. Road trips with friends.
34. Swinging on swings.
35. Making eye contact with a cute stranger.
36. Making chocolate chip cookies.
37. Having your friends send you homemade cookies.
38. Holding hands with someone you care about.
39. Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change.
40. Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much desired present from you.
41. Watching the sunrise.
42. Getting out of bed every morning and being grateful for another beautiful day.
43. Knowing that somebody misses you.
44. Getting a hug from someone you care about deeply.
45. Knowing you've done the right thing, no matter what other people think.
46. Knowing that tomorrow your vacation starts.
47. Flowers blooming in your garden.
48. Knowing that heaven has a place all prepared for you (and God knows just what you like!) but He's willing to wait awhile for you to take up residence so you can enjoy all the other things on this list!
Pick out your favorites – and enjoy them as often as you can.
"Life is a gift given to us by God. What we do with it is our gift to Him."
Enjoy yours to the fullest…
Talk to you soon.
