Happiness is a complex emotion and its meaning is different to all. Sometimes happiness is found in things that are expensive and fancy, like shiny blingy diamonds
In taking a little bit of time to focus on happiness, ahhhhhhhh zen moment, some sunshiny moments that bring a smile to my dial are …
- an “I love you Mum” when it’s least expected, completely unsolicited and genuine (genuine is good!)
- a morning cup of coffee in bed courtesy of your loved one
- the kitten settling in with that squishy-paw-pounding that only cats do before launching into an ear-splitting purr
- being the first to read the newspaper
- having dinner cooked by someone else
- crisp, freshly washed and dried sheets on the bed
- a phone call with someone who makes you laugh
- being the last one awake and having evening quiet time all to YOU
- the squirt of a favorite perfume when dressing to face the day
- a quiet, uninterrupted moment lost inside a book
And really, that’s just a start. I feel truly blessed when I can list so many simple, yet joyful, pleasures. What kinds of things make your heart sing? I’d love to know what brings a spring to your step!
Have a very happy week!
