21 Wonderful Things To Love About Life
I’ve been keeping a list in my journal called things to love about life.
I started writing it because I wanted to remind myself that life isn’t just about money, work, or chasing success.
Each time I add something to the list, I feel more connected to my life than ever before. It’s a strange but wonderful feeling, and I want it to stay with me.
There really are so many things to love about life. From the tiny daisy in the yard to the comfort of your favorite lunch, we’re surrounded by small, beautiful moments that make life feel special.
It’s easy to forget that when you’re caught up in stress or hard times. But I’ve learned that the good always outweighs the bad.
If you stop for even a minute each day to notice what’s around you, you’ll see how incredible life can be — and how lucky we are to be here right now.
In this post, I’m sharing 10 beautiful things to love about life.
Let’s quiet that voice that says “life sucks” and listen instead to the one that whispers, “life is pretty amazing.”
10 Things To Love About Life
1. Quiet Mornings
I used to hate mornings because they meant another busy, stressful day.
But when I started waking up a little earlier, I discovered something magical about that quiet time before the world wakes up.
I love sitting by the window with a cup of coffee, watching the sun rise and hearing the birds sing.
It feels like the whole world is whispering that it’s okay to slow down and just be.
Those peaceful mornings have become something I look forward to every day.

2. Laughter With People You Love
There is nothing quite like the kind of laughter that makes your stomach hurt.
The kind that fills a room and makes you forget your worries for a while.
Whether it’s with family, old friends, or even someone you just met, laughing together reminds me why connection matters so much.
Sometimes even a silly joke at the right moment can change my whole day.
It’s these moments of joy with others that make life feel lighter and warmer.
3. The Feeling Of Accomplishment
I used to think I needed to achieve something huge to feel proud of myself.
But I’ve learned that even the smallest victories are worth celebrating.
Finishing a tough project, cleaning the house after putting it off for days, or learning a new skill — these all give me a quiet sense of pride.
That feeling of knowing you pushed through and did something you weren’t sure you could do?
That’s one of the best things about being alive.
4. Nature’s Beauty
Whenever I feel lost or stuck in my own head, I go outside.
There’s something about standing under a big, open sky or walking through a park that reminds me life is bigger than my problems.
I love watching the seasons change — the first flowers of spring, the golden leaves of autumn, even the quiet beauty of a snowy day.
Nature has this gentle way of making everything feel okay, even when nothing else seems to help.
5. Food That Makes You Happy
Food is more than just fuel.
It’s comfort, it’s connection, and it’s one of the simplest pleasures in life.
For me, it’s the smell of fresh bread, a warm bowl of soup on a cold day, or sharing a favorite meal with someone I care about.
Even something as small as biting into a ripe strawberry can make me pause and smile.
Taking the time to enjoy good food reminds me that little joys matter just as much as the big ones.
6. Music That Moves You
Music has always been my escape.
There are songs that take me right back to my happiest memories, and others that seem to understand exactly how I’m feeling in my hardest moments.
Whether I’m dancing around the kitchen or just lying in bed with my headphones on, music has a way of making everything feel a little brighter.
It connects me to feelings I can’t always put into words.
That’s something to love about life — how a simple song can change everything.
7. Learning Something New
I used to feel stuck in routines that made every day feel the same.
Then I started trying to learn new things, just for the fun of it.
Sometimes it’s as small as reading about something I didn’t know before.
Other times, it’s trying a craft or hobby I’ve never done.
The excitement of discovering something new reminds me that life still has surprises waiting for me, no matter how old I get.
8. Kindness From Strangers
One of the most unexpected things to love about life is the kindness you find in random places.
I’ve had strangers hold doors for me, offer help when I was lost, or even just smile at me when I needed it most.
Those little moments restore my faith in people.
It reminds me that even though the world can feel harsh at times, it’s also full of good hearts and quiet generosity.
9. Memories That Warm Your Heart
I’ve learned that not everything lasts forever, but the memories we carry can stay with us always.
Looking through old photos or just remembering a special day fills me with gratitude.
Even on the hardest days, thinking about a happy memory reminds me that joy has been here before — and it will come back again.
It’s comforting to know that no one can take those moments away from me.
10. The Chance To Start Over
One of my favorite things about life is that every day is a chance to try again.
No matter how many mistakes I’ve made, or how many times I’ve felt like giving up, the sun still rises.
I can choose to change, to forgive myself, and to keep going.
Life doesn’t expect me to have it all figured out — and that’s a gift.
Waking up to another chance is something I never want to take for granted.
One last thought…
When I started paying attention to these things to love about life, everything began to feel a little softer.
The world didn’t change overnight — but my perspective did.
If you’re struggling to see the good right now, try noticing just one thing today that makes you smile.
It could be as small as the way your pet greets you when you walk in the door, or as big as the love you feel from your family.
Life isn’t perfect.
It never will be.
But it’s full of beautiful moments that make all the hard ones worth it.
I hope you find your own reasons to fall in love with life again.
And if you want to share them with me, I’d love to hear what you’ve discovered too.
