Sometimes it is Just the Little Things

that bring joy into your life.

Sometimes, I watch Dr. Bertice Berry’s video posts on Facebook. One post she was talking about hangers. She had gotten new hangers for her closet and how much joy it brought her. Such a simple thing.

I had been thinking about that for a few days. Yes, a new car will bring joy, but also just the simple things can often times bring more.

There is a fabric store on Maui I like to go into just to look at the beautiful fabrics. They carry Asian fabrics that have metallic ink printed on them. They are gorgeous! I often buy their batik fat quarters to use when I am stitching little birds, owls, mice, etc.

So, I diverge from the subject. I was in the store looking at the notions. I saw sewing pins! Now, I have a ton of sewing pins. I don’t need more sewing pins, but …

They came home with me and out the door went all the old ones!

It is true, sometimes the simple things will bring you joy. Every time I use them I am so happy. Maybe in this uncertain times, you might think of some little thing that brings you joy or a smile to your face.
