The happiness of small things

Marianne72

There are lots of books on the theme of small things that bring happiness. What are yours, past, present or imagined? You can have more than three but I was thinking of Desmond's thread!

Here are some of mine:

1. planning a garden project then seeing it through to completion, over weeks or months

2. sitting outside when it's quiet with a cup of tea, watching clouds scud past

3. sliding into bed just after I've just changed the sheets - the scent and the feel of crisp clean cotton

  • 1. Stopping whilst walking or in the garden to watch a bird or insect.

    2. Completing a craft project, especially if it is something I have planned/designed myself. (A garden project too, but perhaps not so small, just planned one that will take at least 2 years).

    3. I love the smell of clean sheets, but the duvet makes a difference too. I have one that is the coolest and softest. Getting in feels like I take a deep breath.
