   Wow, this is such a lovely post, Marie. =)
   It’s nice to sit back and realise what it is that can bring a smile to your face, and so rewarding to realise that even the little things can have such an impact.
   Thank you for such a lovely read 🙂

   For those of you that have never met Marie in person, let me tell you this. She is just as happy in person as she is online.

   Marie, I have figured out your secret, it’s the Reese’s cup. When I go in the store I have to buy one, and my daughter has started bringing them to me. Every time I eat one it brings a smile to my face knowing how much the little things in life can make such a difference.

   Marie and her Reese’s Cups … the two shall never part. LOL

   I absolutely LUV’d reading your post. Too many times folks overlook the little things just to get a gander at the bigger ones. I’m glad that I too am one to appreciate the little blessings unexpectedly given to me each and every day 🙂

   Keep writing such inspiring posts!

   I could easily go through a box of kleenex while on your beautiful site Marie. You are a God send for sure.

   Plenty of hugs!!

   Thanks Marie for this post. It was so cute reading all the things that make you smile. It inspires me to write a list of my own…I think sometimes it’s very easy to forget “the little things” that make us smile because I think sometimes we are always looking for “the big things”. Thanks Marie for always managing to put a smile on my face! =)
   Sending you a nice BIG BEAR HUG!!

   @Candi, thanks sweetstuff for the big bear hugs you leave me = always. love that too. You are correct, the impact that little things can make are great!!

   @Dwayne – ohhhh reesecups are truly one of my secrets!! They do bring me great joy, always have. Especially when you make one last at least 4 bites 😉 – YOU, KNOW the little things are key – as your journey has made you sit back and really soak them up. Thank you for the smile, and i’m sure reesecups can never truly replace milkduds! *smiling*

   @Callie – Aww..thank you sweetie. Gandering at the bigger things for a few moments is nothing compared to truly enjoying the little things. Thank you for the encouragement you bring my way!!

   @Angie -GodsWordisTruth – Whahooo – i loove inspiring people to jot down the little things that make their life BIG!! You start noticing things even more when you are looking for them. looove the big bear hug!

   Thank you all for taking the time to share!! YOU are fantablous!! {{HUGS}} for your day!

     Thank you Bridget. I love the fact that you truly do KNOW that this is completely me. I wish I could get everyone to see all the wonderful little things that are sprinkled about them each and every day. Hopefully this list will give them a wonderful starting point!!

   Love it.. JOY is my favorite word and I also, love spreading it! Thanks so much for your posts. Through finding out about very ill friends to enjoying tea with my ‘girlfriends’ and everything given in between… I find deep joy and peace. That, of course, comes from my faith. I celebrate the ability to express my joy and recognize it in others from very far away.

   Bloom Girl Bloom comes out this summer. My first non-fiction book by Park East Press.

   Much JOY to you and yours~ janrmiesse – twitter Jan Cubbison Miesse FBook and soon to have- Fan Page- Please join me.

   I love your list. I am a big supporter of being thankful for all things, even those that are little!

   -I am thankful that my husband is starting an hour earlier and getting off an hour earlier starting today
   -coffee
   -unsweetened tea
   -coupons
   -library
   -miles of walking trails
   -internet friends (friends in a box!)

   I have SO many!
