little things
“Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can’t put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don’t overlook life’s small joys while searching for the big ones.”
~H. Jackson Brown Jr.
This is a quote on a magnet that I have on my fridge.
It is such a good reminder to love the little things.
As I go into my work night 4 of 6, I’m needing a little reminder of little things that have brought me joy over the past few days.
Joy list:
It’s getting cooler and cloudier here in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. That means it’s easier to sleep during the day!
I made that chocolate chip banana bread earlier in the week, which has been a lovely treat in the middle of my shifts.
I’ve been given an admission every shift during this stretch (admissions from the ER are a lot of work, usually extremely busy), but I am starting to get faster/more efficient at them!
My patient last night wrote how thankful she was for the care I was giving her
My coworkers have all been rock stars. Helpful to me and to one another, silly when we can be, able to talk things out when needed.
My new coffee I bought tastes AMAZING.
My succulents are still alive!
I got a letter from a long time friend from Colorado State University.
I got a wedding invitation from some friends back home (by the way, it’s the cutest invite ever).
I’ve gotten to write on this blog every day!
Feeling like you can’t see the sun for so many days in a row can be tough, but finding the happiness in little things can help you realize how lucky you are, and that this life is actually pretty amazing.
Short post today, happy day!
