Most of us seem to take the small luxuries in life for granted the majority of the time. It's never on purpose, but it usually is the smallest things about life that seem to make us the happiest; sometimes it just may take a second to recognize. So let us try to take that second, at least once a day, to think about the little things and be happy about them.

1. The smell of the air on a crisp night

2. The taste of freshly brewed coffee

3. A clean room with the vacuum lines still in the carpet (don't think you're the only one who loves this)

4. Taking the perfect picture

5. A fresh haircut/color

6. Feeling the warmth of the sun on a freezing winter day

7. Seeing cute puppies in public

8. The shoes that you ordered online fit perfectly

9. The anticipation before boarding a plane

10. 3 a.m. drives with your best friends singing major throwbacks (Cliché? Yes. But it's one of the greatest feelings.)

11. Finding a super cute shirt on clearance in Marshall's after digging around for 45 minutes

12. The first and last days of school (even if you are 20 years old)

13. Going home to your parents' house for dinner

14. Finding a song on Spotify that perfectly describes you're feeling at the moment

15. Watching your siblings grow and find themselves

16. Crawling into a bed with newly washed sheets

17. A good quote

18. Grandparents. No explanation needed.

19. Taking a whiff of a candle that smells like heaven (then realizing you can't afford a $9 candle)

20. Looking back on a memory or a time when you felt at peace

21. Christmas morning

22. Waking up on the day you get paid (basically Christmas morning)

23. Looking at an old scrapbook

24. Turning another year older

25. Realizing how amazing your life actually is
