Joy is the Little Things in Life  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109) 3 years ago

When I was younger, I wanted so much! So much romance, so many material things, lots of places to go. I was just thinking how much my attitudes toward life have changed, since raising two children, dealing with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and all. I am just so much happier with so much less.

Just now I took a wonderful warm bath and lit a lavender candle. I put my lavender aromatherapy ball to float in the tub, and just lay back and went "ahhhhhhhhhh!" I came in here to my room and lit my holiday "Feliz Navidad" candle, came in here to chat with you folks. And I just feel so content.

What are the little things that warm you up inside?

It's good to fine contentment in little things we have so that if big things do happen, we can still be grateful and enjoy. I admire you for being content with what you have and I think that it is the key to a happy life. I pray that I too, will be content with the blessings that my God had given me. It would be nice to have such feliz navidad candle. That must be special.w00t

As it happens, the candles I mentioned were both gifts from my children. The Feliz Navidad candle is from Yankee Candles and ooh when I smell it, it really does remind me of Christmas. It smells of bayberry and spices and all things good.

why are there school busses if they're so big? i think they're intrusive and also reprimanding. also lavendar is made in big bundles outside. and there are insulting and insane people that use lavendar too, and to woo a woman against her desire. actually, a good icon can become something you disbelieve just because it was incorperated into your life in a bad manner. happy things are sometimes questionably so, but this makes them ever more able to make ppl more happy. no one ever wins and variables at length have strong persecuting abilities. the happiness... and also suffering like a madman.

School buses? I'm not understanding most of your post. I insulted you? This was just a post about a little thing that made me happy.

I would have to say the biggest joy in my life is my daughters smile.


myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109)  3 years ago

Your child's smile is definitely the best of all simple pleasures! Thanks, Chantal.

It is a great thing to see your child smile. That smile is so true and innocent. I love it when my cousin smiles. She is 1 and a half years old and looks beautiful.It is a great feeling to see a baby smile.

hi,SteadyOn!
yeah,we need to learn to enjoy little things in our lives,which cost little but bring a lot of fun and happy.it's a living philosophy,isn't it?:)
as for me,I like enjoying beauty and sunshine by the beach.the sea is so vast and blue,waves licking my feet.the sunshine is warm all over me and I feel so pleasant and comfortable.I don't need to order anything,don't need to wait for a waiter to serve them and don't have to pay the bill and tip!the best feast is served by nature,I belive.:)
have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109)  3 years ago

A lovely way to put it, Cathy. I love the ocean too, and haven't been to the coast in awhile now. You sure made me want to!

Whenever I 'lecture' I tell the world that even the mediocre have a right to happiness and society raising its bar to give a pat on the back for those who have climbed up the ladder, or done impossible things, or who have travelled the world, or, or, or.is the main cause for achieving the impossible. May your tribe increase 'Steadyon' It is those little things that should make one happy and if this thought spreads we will have a much better world here.


myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109)  3 years ago

Yes, you can delight in small comforts and still strive towards goals. Thanks, allknowing.

I have learnt so much things when I gave birth with my son. Everything changed and my perspective in life became wider and with a more better direction from when I was single. I am the happiest when I see my son and my hubby. Another is when I go and have my hair done but other than that I am contented with life.


myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109)  3 years ago

Getting your hair done is a nice feeling and a little treat for yourself.

I find joy in keeping in touch with friends. It is always a joy for me to receive text messages from friends from time to time. In this busy life which we now live, we need some respite from stress and work. I find joy in news and words from friends. There was one time that I got a call from a former office mate in the bank and we really had "good vibes" in the office because we are a tandem to contend with when it comes to jokes and laughing. Imagine ourselves being on the phone for 2 straight hours, just talking and laughing. That reminds me... I need to call him as it has been two months or more that I last heard of him. Cheers!


myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109)  3 years ago

I do love locating old friends! Thanks, moneymaking!

Thanks for the BR mark. Have a nice day!

The joy is all of the little things in life. I stay at home with my cats and my wife just relxing without doing a thing and enjoying each other's company. This is the greatest reward that you can request.

True companionship provides a lot of comfort, doesn't it?

i think the little things in life are really all we have and really all we can count on. i had high hopes as a child and in my early adulthood. if someone had only told me life is tough i would have stopped wishing for things to get better or easier and i would not have been so disappointed. now i feel like i exist mostly. i have my son who is the light of my life but i have so many other problems that it is hard to get out of bed in the morning and face the day. i do it though for him.


myLot reputation of 74/100. SteadyOn (109)  3 years ago

Awwww. ..I hope some of your problems ease up soon. It's hard to see light at the end of the tunnel when you're depressed, I know.
