The simple things?
Answer:
You are absolutely right, we are always waiting on that lottery ticket to hit, that most of the time we don't even see the little things everyday that are so wonderful and precious, here are just a few of the things that I cherish and make me smile.
When I catch my kids laughing with each other, there is just something so surreal about my kids laughing and getting along.
The way I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night, and I can see the light hitting the face of my husband while he sleeps..It touches me to point where I just want to touch him, but don't want to wake him.
The way my dog jumps up in my lap when Im being silly and crying over a sappy movie, and she just licking my face because she thinks I am hurt.
When I actually wake up, and I feel good from the moment I open my eyes..life is ever so hectic, that I take for granite the days when It's just calm and cool.
In all, I have to take time out everyday, and focus on the " Little " things, and thank god that Im here to enjoy them.
Shelter over our heads
Food on the table
A job that brings in the $$$

The ability to do the things we fancy
Fond memories
Childhood keepsakes
Your growing bank account
Good deeds sowed
I get happy when I see a bird or a squirrel or rabbit outside. People take them for granted. Anytime I point one out to someone they call me weird.
First let me tell you, that if you are a christian, and you are feeling somewhat hopeless...like you want to just "jump out a window" figuratively speaking...you need to remember that yes, good and simple things happen all the time but if you really look at the things that happen that give you real and true joy, usually it is a direct result of something good that YOU did! So you feel as if something great happened because it was you who caused the chain reaction to the final result! Some ppl wait around for good things to happen, well that is about like waiting to win the lotto and not buying a ticket, it won't happen if you don't get out and start the ball rolling! I used to pray and pray for God to fix my life and then pray again as to why he didn't help me, I wondered why he hated me so much and why did he let my life be so hard, then one day I had that "ah ha" moment where I realized God gave me two arms and two legs and a heart and a brain for a reason and he would only help me if I did the action items needed, God doesn't do FOR you, he helps you along the way, providing you with strength and wisdom to get where you need to go! So to ultimately answer your question, my simple thing would be that final moment of realization that a good thing happened, and that I was the one who started the ball rolling, or somewhere along the line I got to pass that ball on to someone else who also got to share my joy in the event that made it all a good simple thing!
