The stressful life that we lead, the hurried drive
through the traffic to work, all these don't add up. But somehow the brighter
things in life don’t get through.
The little things in the life are the ones that
make you happy
Is there anything more exciting than the sunny
Sunday morning with a hot bacon sandwich?
However if you take time to watch the times of
pleasure around us, they will add a spark to your life and make the world
warmer and a pleasing place to dwell.
Waking up on your day off, the first day of
sunshine after a cold day of winter, making someone smile, turning a corner and
seeing the beach, the ocean crashing against the shore, smelling the sea air,
feeling the sand in-between your toes, crushing the crunchy leaf, being the
first to step into a fresh field of brilliant dazzling beautiful white snow,
the joy of having the whole cake to yourself.
Your pet dog happy to see you, no matter how long
you have been away, Fridays afternoons, Saturday mornings, walking on the fresh
grass bare feet, reliving your childhood memories of games, a glimmer of
excitement when similar experiences come to light, a goal in the last minute,
breaking those bubbles on that bubble wrap, going for a drive on a rainy day, the
list is endless.
Reading these small things that make you happy is
one thing and the visual impact that one gets when you actually watch them is
something different.
That is what Sorcha Anglim did. He strung all these
together to make a short movie of three minute duration.
Wonderful.

That's a great way to sum it all up! I enjoyed reading your post and watching the film. Now I'm off to do something that I don't want to do, however, I now have a better attitude about it.
Yes, it is the little things, the simple life's pleasures that matter; we should learn to appreciate them.
It's autumn now, and I get much pleasure from contemplating the lovely yellow-orange-brown colored leaves specific to this season.
I enjoyed both the words and the pictures in the video. Just think how much more pleasant the world would be if everyone took the time to stop and think about the small joys in life.
Lovely to discover your blog and I agree it is the little things that can make us happy.
Thanks for visiting me
Enjoy the week

you are so right... little things make you happy... well, they sure make me happy
what wonderful thoughts! I'm off to watch the movie!
That is a lovely long list of simple little things that bring so much joy.
Add up all those 'little things' and you have a pretty lovely world to live in - as long as you have eyes to see it, ears to hear it, hands to hold it, and a nose to smell that sizzling bacon sandwich! Happy weekend :)
Oh wow! What a wonderful idea - and remembering the "little" things in life is what it's all about anyway, right? Thank you for this beautiful post ;) xo
A very nice post!
The smile on my face just got bigger as the list went on....sigh.
And yes, I did paint, it's all done.

share words of motivation friend
People who think negatively always sees the difficulty in every opportunity, while successful people are always looking for an opportunity in every difficulty.
Greetings, success always and I wait behind the visit: D
