Little pockets of sunshine>>>

A list of things that feel like little pockets of sunshine

• Car windows down on a breezy summer day while listening to worship music or early 2000s music

• A warm cup of matcha

• The way flowers perk up after being watered

• Fresh herbs to top a dish you just made

• Laughing so hard that you’re holding your belly, rocking back and forth and crying

• A kind compliment from a stranger

• Quiet moments to yourself

• Sunlight spilling across the floor an hour before the sunsets

• The first sip of a cappuccino when it’s still perfectly hot

• Slipping into clean cozy plush sheets after a long day

• Catching a familiar scent that brings back a good memory

• A song with the right lyrics coming on exactly when you needed it

• Warm laundry straight from the dryer

• Finishing reading something that lands and sitting quietly with it for a moment

• The sound of rain when you don’t have anywhere to go

• Stretching in the morning and feeling your body fully wake up

• Writing something down that makes your thoughts feel lighter

• Waking up a few minutes before you’re supposed to and realizing you have time to rest a little longer

• The breeze through the sliding door

• Finding money in a pocket you forgot about

• The way a mug warms your hands before you take a sip

• The feeling of crossing something small off a to-do list

• Receiving a genuine “thank you” that feels meant

• Seeing trees move in the wind while you’re standing still

• Watching the shadows on the ground from the trees

• The first bite of food when you’re really hungry

• Hearing your name spoken gently

• The glide of a pen that writes smoothly

• A message from someone you weren’t expecting but were glad to hear from

• Randomly running into people you haven’t seen in a long time

• Watching steam rise from a shower

• The quiet right after you turn something off (a sound machine, the fan, kitchen vent, bathroom vent)

• When the sky turns soft pastel colors instead of just dark

• A shared glance with a stranger that feels kind not awkward

• Sitting down after standing for a long time

• Realizing you’re comfortable and don’t need to adjust anything

• The smell of soap after freshly washed clean hands

• Remembering something you once worried about and noticing it turned out okay
