Teeny Tiny Moments of Joy

Teeny-tiny moments of joy. We all have 'em, the tiniest things that can make your whole day. The things you know you can always look forward to, or just the things that make you smile. I will take a moment to reflect on my own, often quirky, teeny-tiny moments of joy.

One of my moments of joy is eating ice cream in my backyard. I don't know about any of you, but I just cannot eat an ice cream cone indoors. No matter how old I am, I love to swing on the swingset in my backyard on a hot summer day, ice cream in hand, just chatting with my sisters. It's something I can always look forward to.

Since we're on the topic of ice cream, dear reader, you should really get the Peaches and Cream ice cream from Fresh Thyme Market. It's FANTABULOUS, and brings this moment of joy to an ultimate high!

​

Another tiny moment of joy for me is that wonderful feeling you get when you have just finished a lot of homework. I look down at my finished homework, let out a huge sigh, and flop down on my bed, ready to relax. I don't exactly know why I always want to flop down (is it out of relief? exhaustion?)  My brain feels like it's been deep-fried, and I just feel so happy when I'm done.

The feeling of joy you get when you debut a new outfit is something I know all of my felow girls will understand. I feel a little more confident when I wear something new, because I usually put a little more effort into my appearance as to complement the new item. I know its silly, but I feel a little happier about my day when I look cute.

Some moments just make you smile, even if they are small. "Psychic" moments are a good example of that for me. "Psychic" moments are the times where you predict something's going to happen and then it does. The thing is, the predicted event is pretty trivial. Some examples of this phenomenon are: 

• When you're listening to something on shuffle, and you guess what song is coming next, and you're right!
• While watching a movie/TV show/reading a book, and you make a prediction, like "I think so and so is going to betray so and so" and then it actually happens!
• When you finish someone's sentence, like, two words in to their explanation.

So, insignificant as they may seem, I love my "psychic" moments.

There are many more teeny-tiny moments of joy that I have, but I don't think they need explanation, so I'll make a list instead!

• Watching TV live
• Lemonade IceCubes gum
• Whipped cream out of the can (There is a HUGE difference)
• Going on Google Images just for the heck of it

I have many other teeny-tiny moments of joy that have yet to be shared, and I'm sure you have them too. Who knows, maybe someday I'll add blogging to my list of joys!
