Hi all!
On May 23rd, I turned 29 years old which got me thinking about my joy list – the little things in life that bring me so much happiness. They are so simple yet so rewarding. They make me smile. They can completely turn a day around. This is similar to 100 Things I Am Grateful For… but a lot more specific. Without further ado, here is my quirky, wonderful list!
– Putting a big spoonful of crunchy peanut butter on my oats every morning
– Drinking spiced apple and cinnamon tea when it’s cold (out of my favourite fox mug!)
– Putting on my fluffy, warm dressing gown
– Reading a book in bed as it rains outside
– Discovering a new vegan lunch place (see image below)
– Giving my husband a big hug
– Feeling our baby kick inside me (this is the best feeling in the whole world…)
– Autumn leaves (oranges, reds, yellows!)
– Feeling super clean after a good shower
– Writing in my many, many journals on a daily basis
– Watching reruns of The Gilmore Girls
– Listening to Betty Who on a walk or a drive
– Picking out a new book to read on my mini bookshelf
– Wearing winter clothes (scarves, beanies, boots included)
– Talking to my mum on the phone
– Looking at old photos
– Lemon infused water
– When my favourite YouTubers put up a new video to watch
– Posting blogs twice a week
– Ticking things off my to-do list
– Gazing at the stars
– Burning candles that smell amazing
– Wandering through bookstores and libraries
– Cooking my yummy ‘vegan’ sausage casserole (recipe to come!)
– Anytime I think about my daughter
– Singing Disney songs
– Smiles from strangers
– Seeing people in love
– Reading dates with my husband
– Working on my book
– Catching up with family and friends
– The sun on the back of my neck
– Flowers in bloom
– Freshly laundered sheets
I hope you enjoyed this list of all the things that bring me joy. Of course there are a million more but these are the ones that spring to mind first. I encourage you to write down your own. It will remind you of what truly matters in life…
Peace & Love xoxo
Loved this list- think I’ll ever do my own now!
List of things that irritate me- when I type ever instead of even lol
Hahaha
Share your list with me!!
Another wonderful post from you my friend! It is so nice to see you finding joy in the simple things in life. I do have to disagree with the peanut butter one though…most of the time I like my peanut butter smooth and not crunchy 😀 But definitely agree with you on feeling super clean after a shower, and I absolutely love showering after getting back from work or a day out. Also thank you for the shoutout. One of the things I am greatful for apart from most of the things you mentioned is catching up with you and taking photos for you 😀 Hope all is well my friend ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! The simple things in life bring the most joy I believe. Always shout out my talented photographer friend! ❤️ can’t wait to see you soon x
