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
