I was driving the other day when I saw something that, quite literally, made me smile.
Noticing things reminds me I’m feeling good. When I’m not it’s like I can only see a foot in front of my face and all the little, everyday life things blur into the background.
In the spirit of noticing things, here are five totally random things that make me smile.
1. Bikers acknowledging each other on the highway in the spirit of a shared lifestyle and passion.
2. Dark clouds to the west that signal a coming thunderstorm. I love the emotion and the energy of the weather here.
3. A sticker in a bathroom stall in my old office building that says, “You are beautiful.” I have no idea who stuck it there or why or when, but I still smile every time I think about it.
4. Ritter Sport chocolate, which is now available in the market in my current office building. Every time I see them I get a rush of memories of my time spent going to school in Germany.
5. My one word ring sitting quietly on my giraffe ring holder. I dare not wear it in case I have to get it cut off, but it reminds me of the word I chose for the year. I’m now, finally, feeling a little more vibrant.
