The little things

Sometimes it really is just the little things in life that can make your day.  Today was the international day of happiness and I really took my time to be mindful, and appreciate all that I have.

Today I did the littlest of tasks, one so insignificant most people would not even notice, but it changed my whole day.  I bought a new cosmetic bag.  

As you all know by now my love for cleaning is incomparable, and one thing that has always been on my list is to clean this mess.

It always gave me anxiety in searching for my makeup, and was always on my list, but never high up enough to actually do. And today I finally changed that and now my desk looks like this

It really was the most insignificant of purchases but set into a spiral effect of things I am grateful for and things that I am happy about.

I am grateful that buying a cosmetic bag is my biggest worry today.

I am grateful that I have enough money to purchase something as insignificant as a cosmetic bag without worry.

I am grateful for the life I have been given, and the life I have chosen to live.

... And because of all of this.

I am happy. 

Tell me: Has something so mundane ever given you such gratitude?
