They are the little nothings that color my life, bring a smile on my face, make me happy, give me energy, feed my inner child and nourish my soul. No matter how messed up your life might seem or be, there is always pleasure hidden within the details. You just have to open your eyes, heart and soul in order to start seeing them. You'll soon realize that they are to be found everywhere, even in the most simple things.
If you are able to appreciate the little things in life and not take them for granted, then you'll enjoy the bigger things even more and you'll never forget to be thankful for what you have.

This is a wonderful post, I really enjoyed it. I get excited over little things, now I don't feel so silly about it! :D
Thanks for the reminder and all the supporting quotes. I especially like the one about facing the sun and letting the shadows fall behind you.
These simple things are the salt and pepper of life.

This post seriously just brightened my day, Rosa! It's so important to remind ourselves not to take the little things for granted. Thanks for sharing this!
Lovely Rosa!!!
Rosa...as I've suspected all along...you are a very old soul who feels deeper than many. The lows must be terrible and the highs must be ectasy. Thankfully you found a mid point at which happiness can be appreciated in the little blessings ;o)
Have a fabulous weekend,
Claudia

Beautiful post, Rosa, and beautiful sentiments. I so agree. Stunning photos. xo
All of the lovely proverbs and photos are very touching Rosa.

How wonderful to read these. They are all so true. Thanks for sharing.
I agree! The secret is not to get overtaken with the negative emotions, and all these little things help!
On devrait tous avoir un enfant comme toi dans la tete.
Definitely agree that the wonderful little things truly make life worth living!
Always, always beautiful to see your photos. I felt very nostalgic when I saw those issues of Gourmet. I miss it.
