I was thinking about the small things that bring me joy and thought I would share them. I should preface this list with the fact that I am not including my hubby, children, or friends on the list as they are big things that bring me joy. These are small things that perhaps not everyone finds pleasure in as I do:
Banana dipped in peanut butter, there are few better combinations; and, I found a wonderful low fat peanut butter at Trader Joe's, so I can still have it on my diet - YAY!
New dry erase markers for my HUGE white board in my kitchen.
Being able to wear a pair of jeans that were way too small and didn't fit at all a month ago.
Listening to audiobooks on my MP3 player.
Going to bed early - I'm sure I sound like I am 105 years old, but I am not a night person, I am a morning person.
Reading your blogs.
Getting an awesome parking space - rarely happens, so when it does it leaves me all tingly inside.
Singing - I sing everything and anything and with full abandon - my kids may want to abandon me when I do it in public, but it is so fun.
A cat cuddled up on me while I read or watch TV.
Fog - we had some this morning and since we hardly ever do, it brought a smile to my face.
What are some simple things that make you happy?

We live in an area where the power goes out at least once a month regardless of the weather so the little thing that makes me smile is having those lights come back on!
Going to bed early is one of my absolute favorite things. It doesn't happen that often but I did it last night. I was soooooo happy!!!!
Love your list.
Simple things that make me happy: hot tea, puppy cuddles, making new blogging friends, chocolate, icecream and pizza.
What a great post! Sunny days, icecream, a cup of tea or coffee, having wine and long talk with my hubby, making silly dance with my son, cooking..hehe I don't think I could end this list:)
Have a beautiful day!

Going to bed early makes me happy too!
It's always nice fitting in those "skinny jeans"

My little things...an unexpected kiss or hug from my kids, hubbie cleaning!, a breezy sunshiney day :D
My morning cup of coffee brings a smile to my face :)
Omgosh I went to bed last night at 9. It was FAB! Until I realized I missed one of my favorite shows. LOL!
Seeing deer in my yard always makes me giddy. Even 5 years later.
I do love a good parking space...I feel like I've won a prize when I get one!
I just love this list. I could totally go for a bannana in peanut butter right this second!
Things that bring me joy at work (since I am STILL here)

I'm an early bird too. What makes me happy? A large mug of coffee with steamed milk first thing in the morning...
Naps on a Sunday afternoon, Sleepytime tea with honey, bananas and peanut butter - yum! And unexpected rays of sunshine that break through the clouds.
WOW we are so connected LOL...... you know I am going to try the whole audio on my mp3 player thing if I can find out how to do that LOL.....
I am going to try to start to run in the mornings LMAO.....I am trying.
I have a couple books named inner simplicity. Do you know which one is going to be a movie? who wrote it?
I am so trying to do it but we will see.....
I love reminders to have daily gratitude and appreciation. I can easily find things to worry about, so taking the time to pay attention to the little things is a wonderful way to start my day...um at 11:00AM, LOL.
Love your list! Here's mine:
