When I look back over my life and the moments I cherish most, it’s often the little things which have had the biggest impact…
…when Dad told me he was proud of me (I worked in retail at the time, nothing extravagant – but he was proud all the same); Mum’s sentimental gifts (a handmade family scrapbook, a bracelet with Dad’s handwriting on it, a locket containing a cutting of his hair – all of which I will cherish always); being asked to be bridesmaid at my best friends wedding; the letters, gifts and ‘thank you’s’ I’ve received from the children I’ve taught over the years; each day I get to ‘do life’ with my deliciously thoughtful man; walking hand in hand, a warm embrace, heartfelt words of love, laughing until my cheeks ache; simple moments of peace and pleasure…
All of these ‘little things’ are the true meaning of a rich and fulfilling life.
Today, take note of the ‘little things’, because they really are the big things.
In love & light,
Hayley xx
Dear Dad 
Oh, I couldn’t agree more Hayley. I’ll never forget when mum told me she was proud of me. It was a heartfelt moment, only about a year before she got sick and it’s etched in my mind. Then other simple moments, her sitting on my bed when I was little and sick, snap cards on my birthday that at the time I thought was so daggy and years later I never swapped them, they were so special. Yes, the simple moments in life are the best. Beautiful post. xo 💗 💓
