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

  • My cats. They are my attuned, co-regulating companions who make everything just calmer and more connected in a zero demand way. 

    A walk in woodland. Doesn't have to even be real wild woods, so long as it's low on people and nature. I can feel the energy of life from all the living things and imbibe calm beauty.

    JellyCat stuffed animals. I just happen to connect with the brand and most all of the cute designs they have. I keep a little keychain dragon on my bag to look after me when I'm out.
