    This is great! Thanks Erin!
    My thought for the day: What a wonder to look at a plant in the morning and see green, and look at the same plant in the afternoon and see flowers that bloomed!

    I agree with Cait. When I was on this morning there were 459 followers. As I write this you have 606. So in less than 7 hours you have spread the little things love to 147 people! Truly amazing (both the huge growth and my mad math skills I just did right there).

    1. When something good happens to someone you love (I’ve been watching this site all day, and the “followers” number keeps getting bigger and bigger and I’ve had lots of people email me about how awesome the site is!!!)

    * When someone at work surprises the office and brings in bagels
    * Opening up windows at home: no heat, no air…just windows
    * The way my dog’s whole body wiggles when Matt and I get home. Who else gets that excited to see us…every day?
    * When toddlers repeat what they just heard someone say. Why is it so much funnier when they say the exact same thing in that adorable voice?
    * Noticing, for the first time in my life I think, how the trees bud with spring flowers and then slowly each bud turns to a leaf. Such a beautiful course of nature.
    * Watching a bird make a nest.
    * Not feeling stressed, even if you’re running a little behind schedule.

    1. TV dates with friends, even when BOTH of them fall asleep!
    2. People helping you get your work done so you aren’t behind!
    3. Bagel rounds (like the new sandwich round fad but with a hole)
    4. Falling asleep after you turned off your alarm and it being ok because you didn’t really have to get up for anything
    5. Running farther than you planned because you weren’t tired (it didn’t actually happen today, but I wanted it to!)

    1. Smiling at your little things
    2. A day at Oliver Winery with mom and grandma…it can’t get better than that
    3. Meeting with the florist for my wedding and not knowing a whole lot about flowers before and leaving feeling like you know at least a little something about flowers :>
    4. The 2nd season premiere of Glee….it is AWESOME!!!
