Being a bit rebellious, instead of beginning a new year diet, I'm having a Katsu curry today and rather than new year resolutions, I'm making a list of what makes me happy. I'm going to do my best to fit more of these feel good, warm, fuzzy moments into my life.
My Happy List - in no particular order :)
First of all , my favourite Christmas present. I opened this..
A Coldplay vinyl = happiness.
'Look inside' urged my sons who had bestowed said gift upon my hubby and me.
Cue a few tears after seeing this drop out...
A promise of 2 tickets to see them at Wembley. Wow! Genuine top notch happiness anticipating this concert.
Moving on...
An early night. When I was a wee little one, I remember very clearly having to go to bed while it was still daylight outside. Boy that was frustrating. Now fast forward ... quite a lot of years and I love an early night - laying in bed in Summer listening to sounds of the outside world going on, or snuggling up in Winter with a hot water bottle, listening to the rain on the window.
A new book to read. I'm determined to try and read one book a week this year. My reading was dismal last year. I'm currently reading this.
That first cup of tea in the morning.
The first daffodil appearing.
Twinkle lights
Our new bed -sooo comfy
Curling up on the sofa with
Stripy gloves
Fresh linen on the bed.
Cow parsley
Giving a handmade gift
Notebooks/ journals. I have so many - I can't resist. I got a beautiful William Morris V&A lined journal for Christmas...with matching pencils.
Yay! I also love these. I never know quite what to use them for so this year I will start using them, they are not too precious to use Sherry.
Feeding the birds. Especially our little robin who flies into my hand every morning for his breakfast of grated cheese.
Baking
Liberty print fabrics
Cherry cake
The Boden sale
Le Petit Marseillais products
Scented candles
Having a whole evening stretching out ahead of me when I can embroider, knit, or crochet (any of the former) while watching an Audrey Hepburn film. Strictly speaking - two happinesses there.
A soak in a hot bath
There are so many things that make me happy. I think I'll do a monthly list to keep a smile on my face throughout the year :)
What makes you smile?
Happy 2016 to you. Think happy thoughts xx
