Very much so! I totally agree with you, Brainsbeforebeauty. You said it very nicely.
I appreciate little things all the time. Flowers in our garden and even tiny wildflowers that grow close to the ground; birds, lizards and wild animals that come to visit; bees and butterflies that go happily about their work; puffy clouds; a blustery breeze on a warm, sunny day; sunsets; the comfort of our simple home; fresh well water; fresh citrus from our trees; the availability of energy; music; electrical devices; my wife; my silly cat; friends; and good food are things that I appreciate on a daily basis. I also appreciate friendly smiles, simple courtesies and small kindnesses from strangers. Little things surround us every moment if we choose to see.
I don't care at all for conspicuous consumption, brand name clothes, ostentatious home, flashy car, or expensive toys.
Lost my dad bout 3 weeks ago, all i remember is the small things, his laugh. His smell, his voice, always counting on seeing him in the same kind of clothes plaid shirt brown pants,
Small moments hearing Somthing cool and rushing to share with him, the way he played with my dog, he didn't deserve cancer, he could have gotten a better deal. But he went the best way he could have and now he's home where he wanted to be.
I always admire the trees and the sunlight. They are always beautiful in my eyes. The blue sky, the moon, and the waves on the beach, all the birds i see flying above me, the wind. I really love going outside when it's not too hot anymore. That's one source of joy for me.
I always take a picture whenever there's something's that i think is beautiful.
Like this:
Unfortunately my phone's camera isn't good enough to take a picture of the moon or sunset.
I always end up disappointed because everytime i take a picture of the sunset it looks really dull. The color isn't as pretty as the actual sunset.
So yeah, i enjoy small things in life.
Especially nature.
All the time... love nature. What the earth gives us.
The people who came to my life. Those who lifted me, encouraged me.
what I like more, is, I too am sharing those little things with the people I come encounter with.

I'm kind of a romantic type so I tend to attach sentiment and imagination to little things. For example, I horrify my wife when I get so happy eating $1 McDonald's cheeseburger, and she asks me how on earth I could like it. But I tell her that I imagine I'm inside a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and there's nothing to eat besides like canned dog food. And I haven't eaten for days. Then I stumble across this cheeseburger, and so it is so amazing. I tend to think like that. I add value to the little things by trying to find a "poetry" to it.
I do this as often as I can and I encourage my kids and husband to do the same. On evenings we sit and watch the sunset and the clouds. On sundays we take our kids to various points to do sight seeing like on cliffs or in my island we have hill with a view point, I go to the park, board walks on evenings just to take in the views. I encourage my family to appreciate the beauty around us cuz we are really fortunate to live in a place where we have this all year round.
Most of us do. We need to take the time to smell the Roses.
I do! I very much appreciate the sunset when I am available to see it... I don't have a child but I do hear children crying and whinning a lot and that is not a pleasant sound! I work at Walmart so lol... I have heard a child laugh... it's ok... and yes I do appreciate the small things! They do add to my happiness... but I'd rather have peace of mind not just happiness. :- )
Thanks for the question..
Always do. There are no big happy things in my life and it is not likely anything will happen soon so small things are all I have and I really do appreciate them and don't take them for granted.
... Everyday ,, im a cloud chaser. A moon & Stars kinda hippie and at home in Nature. Case in point the pic sunset 01/01/2020 from Colorado springs CO
We enjoyed a beautiful sunrise right this morning.
I think one key to happiness is to remember to appreciate the little things. Make it a point to find happiness today in something simple and you will see what I mean.
I care about the little things. The other stuff isn’t that important to me most of the time. Yet, often I am just surviving.
Yes sometimes actually quite a lot I have a lot to learn.
I think it takes people a while to realise this. well, the ones that do. I would imagine anyone with kids would reach this realisation before those without. it true what they say. it's the items you own that end up owning you
I try to. I especially love sunrises and sunsets.
I do appreciate little things.
