Good Monday morning, friends! These are just a few of the “little things” in my life that I consider to be marvelous.

When you’re out today, take some time to look for “little things” such as these…

Appreciate these little things and then take a moment and be grateful for them. Life is filled with marvelous things, but some times we are too busy to notice them.

Slow things down today and enjoy every moment. Not just the big moments, but the small ones too.

Like having the first sip out of your mug this morning.

Have a beautiful Monday!

What is one little thing you’re appreciative for this morning?

The little things are so important. they’re the ones that change your mood which is pretty awesome. I’d say I’m appreciative for my roommate and our ability to sit in complete silence on our individual computers and just be there together. It makes the world of difference. Also, really want to see silver linings playbook!

That really is amazing about you and your roommate! That’s unique! So happy for you, girl!

I’m appreciative of my parents this morning for helping me along with my surgery. It’s been a rough time and we fight constantly, but I don’t know what I would do without them.

I love speckled bananas! I get SO -probably overly- excited when I see bananas going ripe on our counter!

Meg February 4, 2013 at 10:24 PM

Well you’d always love my bananas hehe!

Good luck with everything babe <3 praying for you

I appreciate that my husband safely drives us to and from work . . . especially on a day like today when there’s lots of snow, and it’s quite slick out there. :)

I am appreciative that I found a substitute teaching job this morning! Always nervous when I don’t have one ahead of time! And I am really appreciative that I had time for an excellent workout and enough time to relax and prep myself for the day before teaching!

Happy Monday, sis! You’re so right–it’s the simple things–those everyday moments–that make life marvelous. I already knew that your weekend was amazing, but I love having this visual peek to go along with your text messages. :D I still need to make the avocado whipped cottage cheese! Have you ever tried eating it as a dip? I bet it would be delicious with crackers?

Love you to pieces, and I’m SO happy that you’re so happy right now! You deserve it, and so much more! Love you xoxoxo
