Little things that Make You Happy
« on: August 21, 2012, 07:58:46 AM »

Yesterday I did three things that made me happy in a small way. I had a day off and just did what I wanted to do. I started with my Zumba class which always cheers me up - fantastic music!
I then tried out some new craft inks that were in beautiful bright colours. I started an art journal and had fun experimenting and getting messy!
Lastly, I planted a couple of plants that I bought while away, and know will flower it the next few weeks and will give me something to look forward to.
On reflection, I wondered what little things you have done recently that make you smile or feel content?

Mine are so little they don't register I feel.  However, felt good this morning phoning my brother to congratulate him on his new grandchild, born in Oz.

A long hot bath with Very Good Book and a cuppa at the end of the day
A blast in the shower during hot weather
Warm towels in the Winter
Cuddly socks ..........  :whist:  need I go on: OK then ........ seeing my garden grow from nothing in the Spring to being fully over-blown right now  ::) I found a shrub yesterday in a bed of nasty nettles that I had forgotten about  :o
Dawn chorus on the mornings I can't sleep ..........

Waking up and realising that OH and I will be together all day - no work at the moment. I love my work but when I'm off, I like nothing better than spending time with him, so it's great when we're both free together.  :wub:

My perfect day is a sunny one - weekend or day off work - and no plans as such.  Just me, hunky hubby and the cats, bit of pottering/mooching in the garden, nothing too strenuous you understand.  A sit down in the sun with a book for a while with a nice cuppa (and a fan for the flushes).  Then maybe a bbq for 2, or any al fresco eating + a nice cold bottle of wine, sit outside chatting by candlelight til it goes chilly...not really had the weather for it this year but I can still dream!  :yes:

We lit our chiminea while sitting out the other night and cooked some burgers in it.  I had a glass of red wine and enjoyed the smell of burning wood and burgers.  Also like watching my washing dry on a nice sunny day :D

Well done Purplenanny!
I love all the things on here! Eating outside, being with husbands, cuddly socks! It really is the small things that matter in life.
I want to add sharing time with my mum, on a good day, when we're no relaxed and chatting happily! Did this yesterday and realised how lucky I am!

I love Desert Island Discs. When ever I catch it I never get to hear all of it as I arrive in the car before the end
