Little things are responsible for our happiness. We call them little things because they happen to us every day and we tend to let them pass unnoticed. But there´s where the happy thoughts responsible where our happiness are coming from. When we smile or when someone smiles to us, it fills our hearts with happiness. It´s so easy to smile... and because of that we think it´s not so important. We came to think that only the things we strugle for are important. That´s soooo wrong. We are happy holding the loved one in our arms, we are happy when we feel the smell of rain or the smell of the forest, first snow makes us happy, chocolate, dinnner with family... Here´s where the happiness is. A new house takes time to become a home, a new house is new only until it becomes a home... And the real happiness is not in the new house but in the home it becomes. A new house is a big step in our lives... but it´s an empty accomplishment as long as it doesn´t become a home, part from our legacy. Going home makes us happy, entering a new house is not that much. The happiness is in the meaning of the things, not in the things themselves.

Yeah often times we do get consumed with the big things and think that only those thing can make us happy. But like you mentioned that is so not true. It is the simple and little things in life that bring us the most happiness. Often times we have to remind ourselves of this.

Those are all really good things to remember. I think that it's important for us to focus on those types of things. A lot of us do get distracted. I know right now I feel like there is so much more that we need financially for example a good emergency fund. I would like to get that going and hopefully when I don't have to worry about emergency financial problems coming up I will be able to relax more and spend more time with my daughter. It can be hard balancing things. As I would like to be able to buy more little things for us to do different activities together but then the money part comes into play.

I have a little to do list in my head. It says kiss babies goodnight. Say I love you as many times as I can. Smile more than I frown. IT makes life more positve and good. It helps to overcome those time takers life brings.

I live my life to enjoy the little things. Being a mom I can take my time to do that. I even enjoy laundry when most don't. I used to be jaded and not be able to enjoy the little things. I had to work and be a single mother for years before being able to be a stay at home mom. Even the little thing like being able to work I enjoy too when I am able to. Like I just started a discussion that I wish I could be in a jury but I haven't had he chance. Something little like that that many hate to do is something little that soul make me feel like more of an American. Happy myLotting!

Hello, dear! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I think, being moms like us do appreciate a lot of things no matter how small they are. A smile will surely blossom even at the thought of your kids' angelic faces. And just by simply being kissed by your child and telling you, "I love you", can make your day.

Hi, You are right. We can become happy even with very small things in life. We just have to find out the things. We can be happy by buying new thing whether it is small or big, We can be happy by watching laughing face of small cute bay. we can be happy by bein wet in the rain, and so on. As you said the house become happy not by it's walls but by the people living in that house happily. It would be happy home with happy family.

Exactly! No matter how small things are, but with a loving and happy heart, it will seem big.
