Man is a mysterious being. It is very difficult for him to believe in a miracle. We are used to fixating on the negative. We can remember about a minor nuisance (they were rude in transport, cut off on the road) for quite a long time, each time reviving it in memory and weighing it with more and more new details when retelling to others. And every time this memory will spoil our mood, regardless of its "expiration date".
We have forgotten how to enjoy pleasant little things that used to bring a lot of pleasure. Children do not need a special reminder for this. They haven't forgotten how nice it is to let sand through your fingers. And they know for sure that in summer the sound of tram wheels is special.
The person who compiled this list probably remained a child at heart. That's what gives real pleasure:
- Immerse your hands in a container of raw rice.
- Find a potato fried to the state of chips in a portion of fried potatoes.
- Get goose bumps from listening to music.
- Go to bed with fresh sheets.
- Sort through a box with your children's toys and things.
- Lying in bed and listening to heavy raindrops drumming on the roof or windowsill.
- Remove the dried layer of PVA glue from the hand, like a second skin.
- Remove the plastic film from the newly purchased item.
- Put on clean new socks.
- Put on glasses immediately after wiping the glasses.
- Watch a movie in an empty cinema hall.
- Notice how strangers standing nearby laugh while listening to your conversation with friends.
- Wash your hair for the first time after a haircut.
- Sit on the sofa after a whole day on your feet.
- Take off your socks right before you go to bed.
- Cry with laughter.
- Feel the sand between your toes.
- Turn the pillow over to the cool side.
- Wake up in the middle of the night and realize that it's too early and you can sleep on.
- Wear shorts for the first time after winter.
- Turn on the radio and hear your favorite song.
To this list I would also add:
- Divide the cookies with the filling and eat it.
- Take a hot bath after a month of maintenance work.
- Wake up to the smell of coffee.
- Inhale the first frosty air so that it starts to sting in the nose.
- Take a look at the sea for the first time in the new year.
The list can be continued indefinitely. And what pleasant little things please you? Do you have something special? What makes you get goose bumps and feel butterflies in your stomach?
