Its the small joys...
1. Getting out of bed every morning strong and healthy...knowing GOD kept me
2. Watching the sun set and staring at the sky...the stars..the moon, its beauty!
3. Hugging someone I love
4. Taking a tall glass of chilled water with a dash of lemon and a pinch of sugar when I come in from the sun...the satisfaction hmmm
5. Seeing an old friend and picking up where we left...somethings just don't change
6. Road trips with or without company
7. Finding money in an old bag/ pocket of a jeans just at the right time...when I'm low on cash
8. Reading a good book to the last page, discovering and reading blogs, write- ups, poems etc
9. Lying in bed till whenever on a Saturday
10. Laughing so hard after making a fool of myself
11. Seeing smiles on the faces of people that matter to me
12. The taste of chocolate on my lips, double hmmm
This seemingly little things give me "the small joys". Let's hear yours.
P.S: I'm a sucker for scenery/destinations/travel/tourist sites, I have a whole lot of stuff on them, thinking I should post some of them here instead of opening a new blog for that. What do you think friends?
Getting unexpected calls from friends, Finding money in an old bag/ pocket of a jeans just at the right time, hanging out with friends..the little joys of life makes my world awesome.
ReplyDeletemine includes most of the things on the list and spending quality time with the people i love.

Knowing God kept me, Picking up where we left off, road trips with or without company, being a weist on saturdays and a cup or two or three of cooooold orange juice, goodness!
ReplyDeleteGod is awesome, the joy from little things are usually the deepest.
How you dey? :*
By the way, i've been thinking of putting up stuff from my travels too but haven't decided. Anyway, i think you should either put it up here or on another tab on your blog then put up a link to it whenever you update, eitherway, i doubt a new blog is necessary
DeleteHanging out at the beach in the middle of the night :)
ReplyDeletelooool.....#eyebrows raised#
DeleteFor real?....you have got to be kidding me..loool..you are a brave man oo
The list above pretty much does it for me, plus finding out i did ok in an exam i almost lost hope on! I love to travel too!
ReplyDeleteI love the money one. why chocolates naa? If I catch you?
ReplyDeleteThese are no small joys, D1. In fact, there are no small joys. If only we'd sit down and count all our blessings, we'd know God is indeed very merciful. Many seek to experiences these "small joys" but are not privileged.

I am grateful for these things too. I haven't tried water with lemon and a pinch of sugar though. Why not just go for lemonade?
ReplyDeleteRather than spreading yourself too thin, I think you should share the new stuff here.
These little things matter a whole lot to us even though we sometimes don't realize it.
ReplyDeleteRather than create a separate blog,post them here,or better still create another page.
hearing my mom's voice.........priceless.
ReplyDeletei think you should share them here
Totally agree...they keep us alive and sometimes we take them for granted
ReplyDeletei have experienced most of them and often times we don't even realize how priceless they are.
ReplyDeleteAll you've listed + getting surprise emails and calls that will change your life and career! Yep... God did that!
ReplyDeleteBlessings.....
ReplyDeleteAmen, amen and amen
These are a few of my favourite things too esp 1,2,3,5,7,8,. That put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteThose little things matter to me too.
ReplyDeleteHearing something pleasant about myself (from a sincere heart sha cos i'm usually suspicious of compliments) for instance, hearing my niece tell me to "you're amazing"
Staring at pictures or videos of the ones i love
Getting help from total strangers
Getting hugs
Spending time with those i adore
spending quality time with my son and the ones I love. watching an interesting movie by myself and also, most of the things on your list.
