Life is a puzzle. There's pieces that we put together to make up the most beautiful masterpiece, but sometimes there's little cracks and crevices. But even those hidden spaces, happiness thrives. Happiness is what we have to choose. It's what we rely on, especially in times when things are a little foggy.
It's the cold nights where I'm huddled on my bed with spiced tea.
It's listening to the soundtrack to The Cider House Rules while admiring the fall colors.
It's my wild red hair blowing through the wind.
It's perfectly placed pillows and a made bed in the morning.
It's my 9am coffee, with just a little cream.
It's the glimmer of hope each day brings.
It's my Hunter wellies, lined up, side by side.
It's my thought out magnet board.
It's the Christmas music that pulses through my veins, making me sad, happy, excited, and sentimental all at once.
It's pictures of the past, each with long wonderful stories attached.
It's ABBA, my most favorite dancing and singing music.
It's the satisfaction that accompanies crossing something off of my to do list.
It's the straight lines and perfectly formed letters when using a favorite pen.
It's hearing my friend's voice through the phone.
It's blasting Taylor Swift in the shower.
It's finding something on clearance at J.Crew.
It's watching the geese slide around on the ice on Kitt Pond.
It's Christmas lights flickering on trees at 29th Street.
It's texts from childhood friends, reminiscing about old memories.
It's the promise that no matter how imperfect life is, it will all work out, with joy.
//These are just a few of the little things that I am so thankful for! I hope you remember to find happiness in the hidden places of life.
