… Are Life’s Treasures

Sunrise or sunset

Watching clouds float by

Stargazing at night

A cloudless sky

A bright full moon

Fireworks

Flowering trees and shrubs

Vibrant autumn foliage

A newly-fallen blanket of snow

Warm, fresh-baked cookies

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Good chocolate

A cold drink on a hot summer day

A hot drink on a cold winter day

Plump summer tomatoes

Fresh berries

Music

A good, long laugh

Lying in bed listening to the rain

Spending time with special people

Your favorite TV show

Finding money you didn’t know was in your pocket

Fresh bed sheets

Making someone smile

Checking something off your to-do list

The cool side of the pillow

The smell of a thunderstorm

Snuggling under the covers on a stormy day

A great book

A clean closet

Unexpected good news

The smell of barbecue

Bubble wrap

An afternoon nap

Finding an old personal treasure at the bottom of a drawer or in the back of a closet

A brand-new 64 box of Crayons

Your favorite movie

Not having to be anywhere

Getting a giant hug just when you need it

Putting on a fleecy sweatshirt on a chilly afternoon

A long conversation with a friend

The smell of fresh-cut grass

Tears of joy

The smell of fresh-baked cookies or bread

A foot massage

A rainbow

Candlelight

The first spring bulbs

Hot chocolate on a cold day

Randomly bumping into someone you haven’t seen in a while

A good hair day

A balloon

Coming across an old photo

Hearing an old song you used to love

Rereading a favorite childhood book

City lights at night

A favorite meal

An afternoon nap

Fresh, hot popcorn

Making someone smile

Saying positive affirmations aloud to yourself – or someone who needs to hear them.

Taking a deep breath
