The Good Things – a list of all the little things in life that bring us joy

The Good Things – a list of all the little things in life that bring us joy

Creating a space here for all those small things that bring joy, laughs, loves, and everything in-between.

Let's compile a list that we can all return to when things get rough or we simply need a reminder that the world can be a soft place to land.

I'll go first...

Rain on a tin roof
An ocean breeze
Savouring the last chapter of a great book
The buzz you get from your new favourite song
Clean sheets
Ocean pools at night
Dogs (or cats, I guess 😉)

Let's keep this sweet and simple. Over to ya'll!

For me:

- first sip of a smoothie

- smell of a vanilla candle or a new book

- the sound that comes from walking on gravel/pebbles

- blowing bubbles

- watching a sunset

Hot cross buns is a new one @Eve7 . Anything you'd like to elaborate on about them?

I remember when different hot cross bun flavours came out - chocolate, fruitless, mocha... what's your pick?

I like the original ones fresh from the bakery @tyme and I refuse to buy them until Good Friday…no Boxing Day hot cross buns from the Supermarket in this house and I do insist on butter! rather than margarine!

I was also hungry when I wrote that list as I forgot to take my lunch to work lol!!
