I grew up dreaming of a glamorous lifestyle but the main thing that gave me a feeling of pleasure on waking up this morning was being pleased with the way I sorted out the recycling yesterday 😭

I mean - is this as good as it gets ?!

Short answer: yes. Unless you are one of the lucky ones to fall into money.

Don’t worry, I got my car valeted last week and it’s the happiest I’ve been in ages 😂

You feel happy about something which is good?

Glamour is relative.

Delighting in the small stuff is a great way of finding peace and happiness.

Practicing gratitude and thankfulness for all things big or small is really good for your well bring and contentment.

I get the tingles from a lovely clean home...I love seeing the dirt off the floor in the plastic container on the hoover!
Yes, it probably is as good as it gets.

I remember being stupidly excited about a 'good drying day' when I was in my late 30's. It was a catalyst to shake up my life, which I duly did. In spades ;)

hey, let’s not underestimate how great it is to get recycling out!!! I think being content and satisfied with the everyday little thing when you can trumps anything I thought adulting would be x
