This is my 1000th post on Instagram (wow!) 🌻 As much as we often see all the big milestones celebrated online, like graduations, weddings, buying a house, starting a new job, having kids etc. I wanted to share something that’s very close to my heart, which is noticing the little things in life.

I truly believe that all the small moments in between these big milestones are what makes life truly magical. Of course, those big moments are special, but they’re only such a small part of life, and they don’t happen every day. Our day to day life is what, if we’re lucky, returns to us every single day. And I think we often take those ordinary days and moments for granted.

A beautiful sunrise. A phone call with your mum. A coffee outside in the morning sun. A laugh with your best friends. A walk along the canal. Opening a window on a chilly autumn morning to let the fresh air in.

The older I get, the more I realise that these are the moments I want to soak up the most. The ones I want to be fully present in and to never take for granted. Life is unpredictable. It can change at any moment, and if we’re always looking towards the next big thing, we might actually forget to notice the beauty in the ordinary.

Here’s to the little things 🌻
