My favorite rule for surviving Zombieland?
Rule #32: “Enjoy the little things”
Let’s be honest, that’s a good rule for surviving life in general. And lately life has seemed so busy and stressful that I could use a few good “rules” to keep me in line.
So in the spirit of Surviving Zombieland Rule #32 I have composed a list of some “little things” that make my life enjoyable….
- Making my husband laugh
- Cloudy days
- Snuggling with the dogs
- “I just can’t put it down” books
- How good coffee makes me think of my mom
- A glass of wine at the end of a long day
- Christmas Everything
- Long card games with family
- Dancing around the house
- Finding songs to add to the soundtrack of my life
- Snapping goofy puppy pictures with my phone
- Saturday morning cartoons in bed
- Playing with my fancy camera
- Walking extra slowly down the coffee aisle of the grocery store
- Sleeping-in
- Stumbling upon good quotes
- Inside jokes with my sisters
- Getting mail
- Lazy football Sundays with AJ
- Photography blogs
- Slow Beatles songs and comfy Beatles shirts
- Praying in the shower
- Losing myself in a journal entry for hours
- Working in my sweatpants
It hit me while composing my list that it could truly go on for days…
So here’s your homework: Make a list of the “little things” you enjoy in YOUR life…it’s humbling to see how blessed you really are and we could all use a reminder once in awhile right?
P.S. Below are some of the other “Zombieland Rules” that I think are good “Life Rules”:
Cardio
Wear Seat Belts
Travel Light
Get a Kick Ass Partner
Shake it Off
Always carry a change of underwear
Opportunity Knocks
It’s a marathon, not a sprint, unless it’s a sprint, then sprint
Avoid Strip Clubs
When in doubt know your way out
A little sun screen never hurt anybody
Double-Knot your Shoes
The Buddy System
Check the back seat
Love,
Elyse
