The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If you keep your eyes, senses and mind open, a lot of smaller things might occur that can make you happy, even if just a little. But you have to keep an eye out for them, or you might just miss them! Some of the smaller things and events in my life that has made me happy recently is …
Enjoying a “fairy tale milk chocolate” and reading the old, but classic, Norwegian fairy tale that comes with it.
Grabbing a nice cup of coffee with a good friend.

Yup, the smaller things don’t leave a big long lasting impact on us like the bigger things does…
But, like the quote on this picture says, the smaller things are indeed just as important as the bigger events!
