I love made beds.

I don't typically give myself this simple pleasure.

I always think I'm in too much of a hurry... when in reality, making my bed takes three minutes.

I love that there are such simple things that make me quite happy.

I think part of making this year one of love and gratitude means giving myself the simple things that make me happy.

It's like Robin Hood: take from the time-rich (what I spend too much time on) and give those minutes to  the time-poor (what I don't spend enough time on). Easier said than done, but this year is all about goals, and that sounds an awful lot like balance to me.

(Here's to Love, Gratitude, Balance, Appreciation and Year-Round Christmas Cookies!)

Best,

Arielle
