This may sound a little silly, but I take great satisfaction in changing that little mood icon next to my name—the one that says whether I am happy or sad or depressed or whatever. When I am able to go from a negative to a positive it gives me a little boost. When I have to go from a positive to a negative I feel like at least people know that I’m not feeling so good. And, sometimes, I put great thought into picking my icon—it forces me to think about my overall wellness.

Thinking about the little things in life definitely helps me appreciate life a little more. So, I have been thinking…what are the little things in life that give me joy or satisfaction? Below are a few of mine—what are yours?

Freshly washed sheets with lotsa fabric softener
Ice cold freshly squeezed lemonade
Birds chirping in the morning
The smell of my BBQ when I am grilling
My computer—I love my computer—it can do anything!
Drinking coffee from my favorite coffee mug
