What gives you the most enjoyment in life aside from children?

Just a lighthearted thread I guess but all responses welcome.

The dust has settled after a rocky breakup with DH and I now feel like I can reshape who I am and discover what I enjoy in life as opposed to thinking about his happiness all the time!

My children are my whole world but I would love to do something just for me. I guess for now my response would be getting out for long walks in the sunshine, always a huge mood booster!

My cats, my business, my camera and art. Reading a really good book. Clean sheets and the knowledge I don't have to get up to an alarm the next day. Long chats with friends about everything and nothing. Horse riding when I can. My ridiculous patchwork velvet sofa 😂 and my old sports car made me smile and my heart soar every single day, but sadly she's now in the big garage in the sky and her bonnet is on my fence Blush

Congrats on your new life op, it can take a while to adjust to being able to do what you want, but it's a wonderful feeling!
