You wanna know the perfect amount of sugar to put in that coffee?

On days like this, I often find it beneficial to just take every little positive thing that happens and savor it. It makes the day easier to get through. Just those little things can make a world of difference.

• Waking up right before the alarm goes off.
• Making someone smile.
• Overhearing someone say something nice.
• When someone says "bless you".
• Guys who smell good.
• A perfect cup of coffee.
• Feeling good about a ridiculously hard quiz.
• When the pianist says "you play beautifully!".
• Relaxing conversations.
• Understanding the lessons.
• When a teacher genuinely cares.
• Eating a good lunch.
• Getting butterflies.
• Real hugs.

These are only a few of the things that got me through the day. It was just this that got me through a day of disapproving parents, impossible schoolwork, a lack of sleep, and the death of a friend.

The little things make a big difference.
