In December of 2016, I set some resolutions for myself for the new year. Most of them are on my annual list: workout more consistently, save money, read more often, and decrease my soda intake.
An additional one was added after viewing this photo online. Well, a take on the below idea.
I, more or less, noted the nuggets of joy that came my way, unexpected things that made me smile.
This has been one of the most rewarding things I've done in recent years... nevermind rewarding resolutions. It forced me to notice the small things, the things that make me smile, the smell of freshly cut grass, crunchy leaves, the glow of white string lights, a strong hand to hold, things and people that I've treasured and enjoyed for years, and new things that I didn't even know I enjoyed until recently like making lil Nutella sandwiches in the wee hours of the morning, and so much more.
If you're looking for something new to do in 2018, I recommend measuring in joy and love (a la RENT).
