I spend many years chasing the big, exciting highs of life. However, about a decade ago I began the journey of learning to embrace and celebrate the little things in life, realizing it was those little things that brought me the greatest joy. Now having a preschooler getting to experience life and play through his eyes, I have an even deeper appreciation for the joy that the little things in life bring. One of the purest and simplest forms of joy I find is blowing bubbles with my child. There is something incredibly peaceful and fun about watching these soapy balls float in the air, but the laughter and happiness both my child and I find in popping them is bliss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popped<\/a> by carterse<\/a> paired with the song Hey!<\/a> by Benjamin Tissot<\/a> represent the joy I find in the simple pleasure popping bubbles. I cannot help but giggle seeing the dog in Popped<\/a> attempting to burst this bubble. By pairing the image with the upbeat and happy rhythms of Hey!<\/a>, I find myself provided with ample smiles, amusement, and joy. This pairing enhances the experience finding joy and pleasure in the little, simple things in this life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
