To wonder what gives you a sense of wellbeing?

[WashingFanatic]

For me, it's watching washing on the line. DH thinks i'm a loon.

There's just something about watching clean washing blowing in the breeze that fills me with a sense of general wellbeing. If i'm stressed or grumpy, it instantly makes me feel better. I don't know why.

What is it for you?

standing at the backdoor these midsummer nights before bed smelling the gorgeous air

A long shower
Watching DD sleep
Art
Having a clean house (though I hate the process)

Baking.

I made fudge today :)

Watching the sea. Getting into a bed made up with clean sheets, in clean PJs, after a bath. Bliss!
Nature generally.

A day when I've cleaned the house, made something lovely for dinner, baked something and the children are engrossed in something improving. It doesn't happen often, but when it does...it's like self-actualization. Very satisfying.

Being surrounded by my dogs when they're snoozing away contentedly.

Taking said dogs somewhere they can really, really run. They run just for the sheer joy of it and it's amazing to watch.

Practicing songs from my singing teacher and having a rare moment (though they're happening more frequently) when I manage to do everything right and it feels incredible.

The sound of water gently lapping.

Being barefoot on grass listening to the leaves rustle in the trees. I did that this morning as the sun rose

The 'green' smell in the night air after it's been raining.

Sweeping with a good broom on a very wet day

Walking through woods on a sunny day.

Swimming in the sea.

All chores being done.

Hanging with DH and the kids.

Cuddling the kids.

God.
He can put right my problems if there are real problems. It is a safety net.

Clean hair
watching washing in the washing machine
Sex
Watching favourite films
Watching the sea
Fossicking in rock pools
Being absorbed in a craft project with children
Singing in a choir
Moments when something clicks for a child I am working with - the pride in their eyes
A cuddle from my sons

Clean house and a glass of wine and a cheeky fag

When my one year old dd randomly starts saying 'mama' repeatedly and then she just gives me this knowing, loving smile as she seems to know how much it takes me breath away! Just the sheer simplicity and beauty of my child saying mama to me and smiling so lovingly as she does so; it's like our bond becomes completely tangible in that moment :) the purity of this is simply breath taking. Every time!

Aww, I got tearful even writing that! It is really is the kitten things in life that take your breath away !

Little not kitten!? Hahha

Sitting in the garden or another garden, perhaps under the apple tree, possibly with a good book

Listening to music, classic fm or world music, often in the car

Being at the seaside with or without children

Enjoying a moment with my children being fab - witty, wise, thoughtful, or funny

Oh, and looking at wild flowers. I love them and they always lift my spirits

Opening a bottle of rose on midsummer's day?

Lying in the garden knowing that the jobs in the house have been done

Putting our DD to bed fed, clean and warm, when she falls asleep I sneak back in for a look and she's so peaceful and content, that makes me feel great ??

A bath with essential oils.

A cuddle in bed from DH after we've finally got the kids/pets to bed.

Oh and singing to the radio in the car with DS1 (he's 6).

Holding my children's hands
Unexpectedly coming across an episode of Sex and The City on the telly whilst flicking through the channels.
Talking to my dad on the phone.

Working hard all week - doing my best at my job - then, on Saturday, cleaning my flat, going to the gym, going shopping and then coming home and opening a decent bottle of wine. And even more if I've been to the gym every day that week (like this one! )

Singing. Loudly. And hitting the notes (coz I can!). Soul music / funk / disco.

Dancing (see above).

My balcony with wine and it's lovely plants.

Festivals and getting stoned.

Doing all the above on a Saturday night after a hot soak in a bubble bath .

The days where my husband, kids and I all have a day at home.
making a bit of lunch, then going for a lovely walk.

We don't do it enough if I'm honest (always running about daft) .

I love holding my dd hand and seeing dd2 all snuggled in her pram.
