Simple

 {Myrtle Beach trip--2010}

I like all things simple because simple really is best. 

Lately, I've been bombarding pleasant thoughts with my hectic back-to-school-schedule-mode and haven't really appreciated the simple things that I have overlooked. I thought it was best that I took a deep breath and jotted down ten things that have a way of making me smile without reason.

1. When I finally find a statement necklace that suits me just right.

2. When I find a dress that I've always wanted and the last one left is in my size.

3. When I finally throw out old handbags and purses to make room for new ones hanging on my purse rack.

4. When I wake up early and on time with my alarm clock with no complaints. (I'm a morning person, don't get me wrong.)

5. When my dad fixes my computer and suddenly it's fast as ever.

6. When I start the day off with a grapefruit and Chobani greek yogurt.

7. When I find a $20 dollar bill in my purse that I didn't know about.

8. When I find out that I'm replacing my laptop with a new one due to the upcoming tax-free weekend.
9. When I can relax in my bed because it's summer and school hasn't started...yet.
10. And last of all, there's nothing I love more than going through old photos and looking back at all the direful memories I've had so far in my life.

What are the simple and little things that are making you smile?

 Have a great weekend.
