What little things make you happy?

[Cloud44]

Feeling a bit stuck in a rut, I don’t think the time of year helps but I want to start making little changes to get my sparkle back. Any ideas? What little things do you do to perk yourself up?

Swimming in the sea with my 2 friends every Saturday morning and our catchup over flasks of coffee afterwards

Hugs from my big teenage son

A smile from my mum, who has Alzheimer's, when she sees me, it's definitely going to be a good visit

A meal out with hubby & 2 teenagers

Multiple daily calls with my sis

A clean house

Time on my own in the house, especially an evening when everyone is out

Long weekend away with hubby on our own. We both seem to reset and appreciate each other more after this

An unexpected text from a friend asking how I am always cheers me up .

My dad has dug a border for me and it has been planted with rose bushes. I can’t wait to see them in bloom and it is making me happy at the thought.

This post has made me happy!
stumbled across it as I was going to write the same post myself.
lovely to see such a positive thread. Mine would be:

Hot fresh coffee in the morning ☕️
The smell of fresh coffee/toast 🍞
When the sun streams in the window and you can see the steam coming off a hot tea 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
Sunshine ☀️
Chasing my daughter around and tickling her - her squeals and laugh the just the best thing in life
Cooking and singing along (badly) to music
Dancing in the kitchen/living room with my daughter
Seeing my little border happy, on an off the lead walk in the woods, scratching her belly etc
Lying in bed with a tea/coffee in the morning (REALLY love this - don’t get to do as often now with a toddler)
Planting bulbs and seeing them grow
Refreshing my hanging basket every spring and seeing it bloom in summer 🌺
Going out for coffee and a scone

The feeling of getting into bed when I've put on my heated throw under the duvet. I actually sigh with contentment
The first cup of tea in the morning as the sun is coming up in the summer and I'm sitting outside

My new tumble dryer (after hanging clothes on airers out for 6 years) 😂
This list is not exhaustive! x

The very rare occasions where I get the house all to myself 😌

Watching the cats sleep, they do this wonderful dead bug impression when they're completely relaxed lying on their backs.

Also going on a bike ride
