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

  • The mouth feel of Mackie's ice cream.

    The scent of lillies.

    The feel of my head when my hair is cropped just short enough.

    The intense visual buzz of very specific colours like certain golden-greens or burnt-oranges.

    (I was told recently that these are called glimmers)
