Just breathe...

After seeing various lists from different people, I thought I would try to write my own personal list - I’ve only got 20 things written down so far, but just thinking about them make me happy! I want to be able to use it as a reminder when I’m feeling down, that there are many things in life that make me happy.

1 - The smell of freshly cut grass

2 - Sunny days where you buy ice-cream on a whim

3 - The sound of waves crashing on the shore

4 - Sleeping in late

5 - Long, hot showers, followed by a warm fluffy towel

6 - Quirky little shops full of shiney, unusual things

7 - Old towns/buildings (especially really rickety buildings whose roof is curved and the walls slanted!)

8 - Hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows and whipped cream

9 - Fresh laundry hung out on the line

10 - Foreign films

11 - Warm croissants with strawberry jam

12 - Clean bedsheets

13 - The smell after a heavy rainstorm

14 - That moment you snuggle up in bed, when the morning feels far away

15 - Rocking chairs

16 - Exploring abandoned houses (safely!)

17 - Visiting stately homes (both restored and ruined)

18 - Reading a really good book

19 - Sour cherry sweets

20 - Brand new notebooks and sketchbooks

That’s as far as I’ve got; I’m trying to put careful thought into these things - and yes, I’ve noticed that a lot of things on there are food-related….Food makes me happy! Lol
