The Happy List 8.0

The Happy List 8.0

Posted on: Sunday 17 April 2022



I may not write these little lists of happiness all that often, but I'm pleased that they're nearing the double digit mark; at some point I should go back and read them all to remind myself of all the small joys in my life (I may also find some repetition I expect...if I were to hazard a guess I'm sure both pizza and coffee feature heavily).


Pockets of flowers managing to bloom on busy roadsides.


The earthy scent outside after it's rained.


A really good cup of (decaf) coffee.


Realising it's too warm for your big coat.


Cloudy apple juice.


Sitting outside without feeling like you're freezing your tits off.


Leaving work while it's still light outside.


A pebbly stream.


Mint choc chip ice cream.


Watching things bloom in the garden.


Baking for the first time in a very long time.


Washing drying on the line outside.


Seeing friends you haven't seen for a very long time.


Making summer plans.


The smell of a neighbour's optimistic April BBQ.


Small acts of self-care.


Feeling content.

  4. Did you know that "The earthy scent outside after it's rained" actually has a name for it? It's called Petrichor. I love the smell!
