This is actually a follow-up to my first “25 things that make me happy” post from April (you can read it here). Back then I said that there were a lot more things that make me happy but I’d save them for a future post. Well, here they are, 25 more things that make me happy:
- Walking on a beach.
- Sunshine, the smell of suntan lotion and the smell of the sea.
- Rock pooling with my seven year old.
- Salted caramel ice cream.
- Brunch – eggs and avocado especially.
- A full English breakfast with black pudding.
- Cutting flowers from our garden.
- Picking and eating raspberries straight from the bushes.
- Reading Cassandra Clare‘s books – my new YA discovery.
- Listening to The Killers.
- Listening to Brandon Flowers.
- Using my epilator on my legs (weird, I know, but I’m so impressed with how quick and mess-free it is).
- Making new blogging friends.
- Finding new Instagram boards.
- Making new Twitter connections.
- Cats (not just my three).
- Watching a gazillion tiny new frogs leaving our pond.
- Finding new hand creams (I use a lot).
- Late night political/historical discussions over wine (always wine) with my husband.
- Watching a film all the way through without falling asleep after the first 30 minutes.
- The feeling of self-righteousness and virtuousness after I’ve cleaned the bathroom.
- Refusing to allow yet another White Van Driver to cut me up on the road (OK, make that gleeful rather than happy).
- Buying new stationery.
- Getting organised in plenty of time – I hate last minute panics as I always forget something.
- Crossing off things on my To Do List(s) …
I could keep going and write another post but perhaps it’s best to quit while I’m ahead. What makes you happy? I’d love to hear your favourites too!
