What do you like?

[drspouse]

DD (aged 4) asked me this morning "what do you like Mummy?'
I told her I like coffee, her and her brother and DH (no particular order), knitting, and going for a walk in the autumn leaves.
Feel quite cheered up now!
So what do you like?

I like reading, taking baths, risotto, and my big comfy bed. I like all of that.

I like walking the dog on the beach and in the woods.

I like going for hikes in new places to find rivers, springs, pools, hermitages, cool picnic spots and fantastic views - child and dog bring me extra joy as they bound around all excited and look for interesting sticks and squirrels.

The change of seasons when i unpack my different clothes - just got my A/W stuff out of the suitcases, it's like, "Oh hi knee-high boots! Nice to see you again. My Skunk Funk skirts YAY!" i don't need to go shopping to feel happy with new clothes
