Sometimes life has a way of keeping us busy, over worked and sort of depressed especially when things are not working as expected. And times when we are too engaged with our personal stuff that we do not notice the rainbow after a rain, the bright and beautiful flowers behind our windows or the sun set after a very long hot day.  As we live our daily lives, there’s need to look for that little something that can make us smile and reduce our everyday anxiety and stress. I want to share some little things that can brighten anyone’s day and truth be told the last one is the real deal.

1. Meeting up with friend(s): There’s always that one friend or friends that I love to hug and talk with and when we do, its nothing too serious, lots of laugh, things to eat and so much encouragement for each other. That kind of friend that’s not judgemental and you can talk for a couple of care free hours and you leave with a full heart.
2. Lip syncing to a popular song: I am literally laughing at myself right now. This is everything like me! I love to sing and even when I am not sure of the words, I just sing my heart out and laugh at myself later for not knowing the words. There’s something about what music does to your soul. You feel lighter and happier.
3. Drinking the perfect bowl of pepper soup/ an Ice cream on a very hot day: Food has a way of calming one’s nerves especially when it is the right food at the right time. A bowl of ice cream on a very hot day would definitely bring a smile on anyone’s face.
4. Getting into bed with fresh clean bedsheets: I love my bed! After a hard day’s work and all I can think of is to lay in bed and then it’s not just a bed but a bed with fresh clean sheets makes my day anytime. There’s just this thing with clean sheets on your skin and that feeling that you have made it all and time for a good night sleep.
5. Credit Alert: I don’t know if anyone has a different ringtone for a credit alert. Lol. A credit alert definitely has a way of making me feel better. Like when the alert comes in and then I look at my phone, my face literally illuminates, my heart beats faster and my smile widens. I can’t keep calm! I deserve this and more. Lol.

What are the small things that can brighten up your day? Please share with me.
