Enjoy the Little Things....

I hope you enjoy little things. Small things in size and small experiences of life.  If you connect the dots between all the little things, life will be fuller and more satisfying. Don't let them pass unnoticed.

Do you notice this kind of little thing? It doesn't need to be much of anything to bring pleasure, a small gesture, a small victory like a recipe you try and it turns out perfect or a returned smile from a stranger. Perhaps a little treat you give yourself...........

 

A tradition I have started as a little treat for myself is to get a specialty soda when I go to Millers Hardware store. I am not there often and I seldom drink sodas so this is a treat for me.  They have a wall full of sodas, all in glass bottles. Most of them I never see anywhere else - many bring memories of long ago. Like this Nehi grape. It was so good.

 

 

 

 

And, so was this lemon/lime Bubble Up. I already have my flavor picked out for next time. So, don't forget to notice and ..............

 

 

 

 

There are so many of them! Don't forget to take a smile with you everywhere you go.
