those of you who follow me on instagram have probably already seen this, but i posted the picture below last week with the following caption:
“for me, a happy life is about noticing: long shadows and spindly silhouettes framed in golden light; the trusty hum a car engine and the trickle of warm air through the vents; a trace of sweet, musky perfume still lingering on the blue veins of your wrist…”
sometimes you have to “look at the big picture” and realize that you’re blessed, and other times when i’m feeling down, i’ve found that it helps to think of the little insignificant-seeming things in my day that make me happy. it’s good to do this even when you’re not feeling down! it makes you notice things you wouldn’t normally think about. everything is significant, everything matters.
