2016 has not got off to the happiest of starts. There’s been some sad news, some down days and some uncertainty but despite all of that, it’s always good to try and look for the good things in life – no matter how big or small they might be.
- Reading a book that consumes your entire being
- Doing something that usually makes you anxious but finding that you’re completely fine
- Finding that perfect quote that sums up everything you’ve been feeling
- Dogs. My dog, a friend’s dog, a stranger’s dog. It doesn’t matter, just dogs
- Freshly washed bed sheets
- Realising that the thing you’ve been worried about doing/saying didn’t need to be worried about
- Watching an inspirational programme/documentary. The Supervet comes to mind
- Reading travel blogs. Wanderlust. So much wanderlust
- De-cluttering my bedroom
- Looking back and realising you made it through all the mess
- Disney songs that remind me of being a child
- My teddy bear that I’ve had since before I was born
- Dog walks and meeting other dog walkers on dog walks. Dog people are so friendly
- Old friends. Old friends that despite how different everything is, nothing changes
- Beautiful sunsets
- Seeing another person happy for whatever reason
- Looking at the stars and realising how truly small you and everything around you is (I find this strangely calming)
- Good customer service. It goes a long way people
- Rain. Rain, rain don’t go away
- The moment after a cold when you can breathe normally again
- Buying something for yourself and not feeling guilty about it because we are worth it
- Stepping outside and smelling Spring for the first time that year (before hay fever hits and makes you wanna die)
- Disney films. All the Disney films
- Finding that perfect sleeping position and being so comfortable your scared to move
- Having plans and lots of things to look forward to
- TV show binge sessions and not feeling at all guilty for not changing out of the same pyjamas for 3 days solid
- Cute notebooks and stationary. Every bloggers weakness
- Animals – all animals. Animal documentaries, being at the zoo (ethical zoos) looking at photos of animals just animals
- Laying outside on a warm summers day, listening to music and not having a care in the world
- Successfully finishing a blog post after being stuck in a rut- yay!
