Family Life, the Universe and Everything with a Latte on the Side

Good Vibes Only. The Happiness List

Monday, 17 April 2017

Sometimes it's good to slow down and look at the things - people, objects or products - that bring joy and help lift a mood.  Making the day better.  Goodness knows, we need it right now!

Blue sky and tree branches

  • When the man from the coffee shop greets you in the morning with the words, "Large latte?".  (This may also be a sign you go there way too much!)
  • Lazy Saturday mornings.  Watching the rain.  From inside the house.
  • Staring out of the train window.  In a seat.  During rush-hour.
  • When a dog or cat comes up to say hello.
  • Making someone laugh / smile.
  • Starting a new book.  Or finishing one.  
  • When your favourite song comes on the radio.  Or on iPod shuffle.
  • Cheese.  Cheese, ham, potatoes and cream.  Cheese on toast.  Cheese.  (Almost as good as bacon.  Or chocolate).  
  • Spring forward as the clocks have gone forward an hour so the evenings are lighter.  Which means summer is coming.  So we can get the barbecue out, sit on a blanket and drink wine in the garden.  In the sun.  (Provided the one sunny day doesn't happen whilst we're at work or school).
  • When a not-so-small person decides they're not too cool to hold your hand.  The bigger one is, thankfully, never bothered.  

What's your happy?  Add to the list in the comments.

    Aww these are lovely and I totally agree. Some other things that make me happy are getting massive cuddles from the toddler, or if the OH finishes work early or has an unexpected day off, weekends spent as a family, and, this is a rarity- if my daughter and niece play together without fighting!! Haha #DreamTeam
