People will tell you, "It's the little things." And it really is. All those "little things" that happen, that you get to enjoy, make life worth living. A new study was commissioned by Small Luxury Hotels of the World to find out what life’s simplest pleasures are. The list includes:
- Eating a home-cooked meal
- Feeling the sun on your face
- Enjoying a picnic outdoors
- Seeing a stunning view
- Discovering new places
- Taking long walks
- Reading a good book
- Slow mornings
- A nice dinner
- Receiving a compliment from a stranger
- Donating to charity
- Meeting new people
- Getting something in the mail
Unfortunately, 63% of those who responded to the study said that they don't have enough time in their day to take advantage of the small pleasures in life. I know you're busy. I don't expect you to be able to enjoy every one of these every single day, but you should take in one or two a day if you can!
