My lovely friend Darina did this exact post, and it gave me all the warm cosy feels, so I thought I would do my own. This is a slightly more Christmas/December themed version, but it has been so nice to sit down and take note of all the lovely things that make me happy.
- Seeing my family after a long time apart
- turning on the fairy lights in the living room in the evening & cosying up under a blanket with S
- Seeing the seasons change and how nature changes with it
- Skyping with friends
- a steaming bowl of porridge on a chilly morning
- wreaths on doors at Christmastime
- visiting my grandparents at their house
- getting lost in a really great book
- texting or chatting with my sister
- getting cosy in bed at the end of a long day
- making films
- writing gratitude lists in my journal
- dancing round the kitchen with S to our favourite songs
- Cooking a veggie filled meal
- the feeling after a workout
- planning trips for 2019 and the excitement that comes with it
- hugging loved ones
- winter walks
- taking photographs and being inspired by what is around me
- morning frost
- a bunch of fresh eucalyptus
- a long lazy lunch with friends, catching up
- phone calls with S in the evenings when we are apart
- the feeling of completing a batch of photo editing
- lazy weekend mornings with S
- writing christmas cards and sending packages or cards to far-away friends
- my grandma’s tea – she makes the best tea of anyone I know
- slipping on a cosy pair of socks
