I’m sure you’ve heard of the “1000 Awesome Things” blog or seen “Just Little Things” on Tumblr. They pay tribute to those special things we take for granted, or the everyday things that we often overlook. It is important to take the time to appreciate what you have or to let something small brighten your day.
